Topics
Andrew Yang: 杨安泽阐述了其竞选活动的强劲势头，在人群规模、筹款和支持者热情等方面都取得了显著进展。他认为，尽管表面上世界运转良好，但制度腐败正在蔓延，现有的制度是在快速增长时期建立的，而如今的增长模式已经改变，制度内的人们仍在延续旧有的增长故事。他提出自由分红（普遍基本收入）是切实可行的、能改善民生的积极措施，并认为美国人拥有两种身份：经济贡献者和社会成员。他还谈到了组建政府团队的策略，需要与既有体制合作，同时清除那些长期误导政府的人，并强调了对男性和女性失业问题的不同应对方式。 Eric Weinstein: Eric Weinstein 指出美国正面临着严重的制度性衰败，尽管表面的物理世界仍在运转。他认为，不应承诺解决所有问题，而应展现应对未来挑战的能力。他还谈到了总统的影响力体现在两方面：让人感觉如何以及实际解决问题的能力，并认为媒体对杨安泽的报道存在偏见，将其边缘化，媒体操纵公众舆论，将某些候选人边缘化。他提出了重新思考“工人”的概念，从“是…（工人）”转变为“拥有…（工人）”，并强调需要恢复人类的意义和尊严，而非仅仅关注就业。他还谈到了移民问题涉及到财富再分配，需要区分移民个体与财富转移工具之间的关系，以及美国在STEM领域拥有顶尖人才，但现有的经济模式和制度存在问题。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of the Portal, Eric checks in with his friend Andrew Yang to discuss the meteoric rise of his candidacy; one that represents an insurgency against a complacent political process that the media establishment doggedly tries to maintain. Andrew updates Eric on the state of his campaign and the status of the ideas the two had discussed as its foundation when it began. Eric presents Andrew with his new economic paradigm; moving from an 'is a [worker]' economy to a 'has a [worker]' economy. The two also discuss neurodiverse families as a neglected voting block, the still-strong but squelched-by-the-scientific-establishment STEM community in the US, and the need to talk fearlessly - and as a xenophile - about immigration as a wealth transfer gimmick.
