Brennan focuses on issues that lie at the intersection of politics, philosophy, and economics, many of which are considered “taboo” by most. 

In today's show, he discusses a number of his views, including why democracy is a flawed system, why “politics makes most people stupid,” his take on Brexit, and the differences between how voting is currently done and how it should be done.
