Caffeine Stream 39: Polling Problems (with Sierra)

Today Sierra and I dive into polling, particularly political "opinion polls."

Much of our discussion revolves around Christopher Hitchens' 1992 essay "Voting in the Passive Voice," which can be found on Harper's archive here:

We also discuss Gaetano Mosca's notion of "political formulas," a concept I learned about from Curtis Yarvin, but which can be read about in The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom by James Burnham, which is available on Amazon:
