Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur explores humanity’s long-term future through space exploration, advanced technology, and big-picture science. Hosted by National Space Society President Isaac Arthur, each episode uses real science and careful speculation to examine space colonization, megastructures, artificial intelligence, post-scarcity economies, and the physics shaping civilization beyond Earth.
Elections look simple until you ask what they’re meant to measure. From ranked voting and redistricting to online ballots, AI, and paper records, we explore how future elections might work.
