Power

3 sessions, in order

Three sessions on what power actually is, not the textbook version. How the very first democracy picked most of its officials by lottery, not voting. The real difference between forcing someone and persuading them. And the uncomfortable last step: that power, in the end, runs on what people believe, not on force alone.
