Hey groovers. Hurt and Tim here from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We are at the Novak Conference, the Norms and Behavioral Change Conference on democracy under threat. uh put on by the University of Pennsylvania Center for Social Norms and Behavioral Dynamics. We are here as a guest of Christina Bicchieri, who runs that group. And uh we've been listening for the past couple of days to uh scholars talk about their work on threats to democracy. And there are a few more to go. Right. We're not done yet. We're not done yet, but it is Saturday morning and we absolutely want to get the special edition out. So we thought we would take some time to groove right now.
while the conference is going on. Yeah. So you can see all the noise in the background, so apologize for that, but I think it's a really important conference and we've been very lucky to hear some things. And I think there's a a couple of big things here, Tim, that I thought that we can talk about What we've heard so far, what are some of the big kind of Ahaz that we've gotten from this. Yeah. And then maybe like bring it around and bring something useful back to uh the groupers out there. So what does it mean to us? Yeah, what does it mean? So yeah so there. So I again I think you brought up kind of as we were talking about this, one of the
big insights that you got is about what democracy is and maybe some changes in how you think about that. You want to talk about that? Yeah, I do because uh I came in thinking that democracy is more about the structural stuff. It's about the institutions which include the laws themselves, the policies, uh, the way that we actually go about governing. That that's really what democracy has been about in my mind.
