Do you know what a paradox is? Do you see them playing out in politics?

Oh, you should because they are in ways that are messing with your mind. I'm Chris Cuomo.

Welcome to another episode of the Chris Cuomo Project Podcast.

Thank you for checking out the substack and

You know, you get this ad free

and you'll get some things early and you'll also get a real window into this long COVID community I'm trying to build

with sharing of information about symptoms and what can be done with it and what experts are

telling us. Okay? And thank you for checking out News Nation.

8P and 11P every weekday night. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now my return of

your favor is to explain something that is happening and I don't know why we continue to let it happen.

Paradox. What is it? Greek word para from docs or paradox is about a conflicting opinion and it's something

that's self-contradictory it's something that on its face seems one way, but when you pursue it, it turns out that it's not absurd. It's actually true. Like what? Simply stated, it turns out that when you step back from your work and give some time to think about it,

you actually become more productive even though you're working less.

That's paradoxical, that less can be more. That's simple. All right, now where do we see it in politics all over?

However, however, there are a couple of ways that matter more than others, and I want to lay them out.

First one is in the inherently paradoxical notion of democracy.

Now, there's this little gotcha going around that I don't think really matters, but I'll lay it out anyway.

You keep seeing these people on the internet, I'm sure, because I do, saying, you think we're

a democracy? We we're a democracy?

We're not a democracy.
