"We are learning what it means to corrupt an institution," Corey Doctorow.
Government allocation, choosing a Pope, network failure, markets and much more manage to condense into this episode.
"The scenario I'd like to work towards is one where we sunset that narrow, beligerant, ideological view of how we do allocation in favour of one that's more centred on realpolitik."
