On this episode of the podcast, we examine the origins of government and discuss several opinions on how to construct the best system. First, we imagine that we\u2019re stranded on an island and are forced to devise a system to organize ourselves into a functional \u201csociety.\u201d Next, we discuss Hobbes' and Rousseau\u2019s viewpoints on the state of nature and how it relates to the formation of governments. Finally, we talk about the adverse affects civilization and government have on our happiness and why we should constantly reevaluate the systems that are in place.
