Is American democracy broken—and can AI founders help us fix it?


In this introductory episode, host Avery Mann is joined by an extraordinary "Committee of Five"—AI-animated avatars of Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, and political theorist Hannah Arendt.


Together, they take a nonpartisan, pragmatic look at the crisis facing American politics today. From the toxic two-party duopoly and media polarization to America’s declining global freedom rankings, the Committee lays out a bold blueprint to restore true self-government: The Six Big Solutions.
