Aaron Ross Powell, and Trevor Burrus of Free Thoughts Podcast interview Ilya Somin.  They discussion about political ignorance and its affect on democracy.  Somin's conclusion is similar to what I had commented about  on a previous thread.  The ignorance of he public holds us back in political elections and ultimately keeps us more divided as a people.  Before being able to have an effective debate, we have to have a base knowledge to draw from.
