Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex focuses on three recent Supreme Court decisions that will arguably give government agencies less decisionmaking powers. These decisions will also give power back to the courts and to powerful private entitites that know how to evade litigation. Alex argues that this was all part of a long term plan from groups like the Federalist Society that wanted to dismantle the administrative state. Alex links these decisions to the Chevron decision in 1984. Later, Alex talks about a new social media trend called “flying raw” or “rawdogging flights.” Basically, some young men have gone viral for taking long flights without any entertainment. They just watch the flight map.
