The American Upgrade Project
Our mission: To re-engineer American government and institutions by going back to first principles. Your government has failed you, but don't give up hope. The founding fathers created a new form of government and engineered institutions that set the stage for the 19th and 20th centuries. We must do the same, together, if we're to survive the 21st.

We use aliases to keep it anonymous as:
1. It's a show about ideas + dialectic, not ego.
2. We wouldn't want to feel constrained from delving into controversial territory for fear of losing our day jobs.
I go by 'badger' 🦡 and my co-host goes by 'fox' 🦊.
In this episode: we talk about SCIENCE and some of the major issues surrounding the scientific process in American society -- namely the replication crisis, funding, and incentives for non-profitable but essential endevours, like developing new antibiotics.
