📉 Good economic policies that people still hate

👥 The power balance between the public and the elites, and why we secretly love them

❓ Where do we go wrong in trusting the masses

🏛️ What Garrett learned working in Congress

🧠 Then we talked about intelligence - the balance between intelligence and behaviour

🌍 The interplay between intelligence and culture

📊 How understanding IQ scores can help us build better societies
