The way I understand it, "wisdom of crowds" and "madness of crowds" are actually not two ends of a spectrum. Wisdom seems more statistical - independent guesses averaging out errors e.g. "how many beans in a jar?", while madness might be more behavioral, driven by emotional feedback loops e.g. mass hysteria etc. Maybe they’re not comparable at all but arise from entirely different mechanisms.

On a new episode of Uncommon Knowledge, Peter Robinson (Peter Robinson) is joined by Zohar Palti—former head of the Intelligence Directorate in Israel's Mossad—for a rare, inside account of how Israel thinks about war, deterrence, and survival. From the shock of October 7 to the current campaign against Iran, Palti explains why Israel sees both nuclear capability and ballistic missiles as existential threats—and why waiting is not an option. The conversation explores the logic of preemptive war, the limits of intelligence when it comes to predicting regime change, and the realities of fighting a modern conflict—from missile defense and drone warfare to the vulnerability of global energy routes. Palti also reflects on Israel's internal challenges, the resilience of its people under constant attack, and the enduring partnership with the United States. A candid, strategic, and deeply personal look at how one of America's closest allies fights—and why it believes it must. Watch the full conversation Uncommon Knowledge conversation on X:

At the same time, given the growing tension in the world and the emergence of new threats and risks, our nuclear triad, as before, must serve as a reliable guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, ensure strategic deterrence, and maintain nuclear parity and the global balance of power.

Peter Robinson (Peter Robinson) interviews Speaker of the House Mike Johnson about the contentious passage of the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill," a sweeping budget reconciliation measure crafted to implement core elements of the Trump agenda. Speaker Mike Johnson defends the bill against criticism from Elon Musk and others, arguing it delivers historic tax cuts, $1.6 trillion in savings, and crucial investments in border security and national defense. The conversation delves into the arcane rules of Congress, the realities of leading a narrow majority, and the significance of the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) effort—driven in part by Musk—to root out waste and fraud. Johnson positions the legislation not only as fiscally responsible but also as a turning point in restoring constitutional governance and federal oversight.

For the second edition of the George P. Shultz Memorial Lecture Series, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice, Senior Fellow Michael Boskin, and Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson assemble for a wide-ranging conversation on the economic mind and legacy of George P. Shultz. From his early career as a labor economist at MIT and the University of Chicago to his battles in the White House cabinet over wage and price controls, the closing of the gold window, and the inflation that defined the Nixon and Reagan eras, Shultz emerges as a rare figure who fused intellectual rigor with political pragmatism. The panel explores how his beliefs in free markets, personal integrity, and "trust as the coin of the realm" shaped his actions, from collective bargaining and desegregation to global diplomacy—right up to his famous economic tutorials for Mikhail Gorbachev in the Kremlin. This is a timely look at how one man's economic philosophy helped steer American policy for half a century. Watch the full episode of Uncommon Knowledge on X:

This panel discussion on the legacy of George Shultz, former US secretary of state and Hoover Institution senior fellow, features Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice; Israeli politician and human rights activist Natan Sharansky; and Abraham Sofaer, the former legal advisor to the State Department under George Shultz. Together, they reflect on Shultz's contributions to US foreign policy, human rights, and the end of the Cold War. The discussion explores Shultz's deep commitment to human rights, particularly in supporting Soviet refuseniks and advancing the cause of freedom in the USSR. The panelists recount how Shultz worked alongside President Ronald Reagan to integrate human rights into diplomatic negotiations, leverage the Helsinki Accords, and challenge the Soviet Union's authoritarian system. Sharansky, a former Soviet dissident imprisoned for 12 years for his activism, shares personal experiences of Shultz's support for Soviet Jews and recounts the political maneuvering that contributed to his own release. Sofaer, Hoover's George P. Shultz Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy and National Security Affairs, and Rice discuss Shultz's diplomatic philosophy, his strategic role in Reagan's administration, and his ability to bridge the gap between hardline anti-communism and pragmatic diplomacy. The conversation also touches on the role of ideas in shaping policy and whether current generations fully grasp the stakes of international conflict in the way Cold War leaders like Shultz and Reagan did. The panelists debate modern revisionist views on the end of the Cold War with a strong defense of Reagan and Shultz's deliberate strategy to weaken the Soviet Union. Ultimately, the discussion serves as both a tribute to the life and times of George Shultz and a reflection on leadership, diplomacy, and the enduring battle of ideas in world affairs.

TCS Nashik Case: The Tip of the Iceberg? In this video, Vijaya Viswanathan (Trustee, Infinity Foundation) presents a critical perspective on global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks and their influence on corporate workplace policies. Using a reported case from TCS’s Nashik office as a reference point, she discusses how emerging workplace inclusion practices—particularly those related to religious accommodation—may be increasingly shaped by ESG-linked compliance and scoring systems. The talk examines initiatives such as religious diversity and inclusion indices (including the REDI index) and suggests that such mechanisms could influence how companies evaluate and reward “inclusion” practices under the ESG “S” category. The video also questions whether global ESG governance models adequately reflect regional cultural contexts, particularly in India, and calls for consideration of India-specific approaches to corporate governance and social policy.

On a new Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, they appeared together in a public forum for the first time. Among the topics they cover in this wide-ranging discussion: the recent controversy regarding Winston Churchill’s role in World War II, the false premise of the 1619 Project, the #ColdWar, #WW2, and the role of historians in public life. In addition, they critique recent trends in historical writing and the recent phenomenon in much historical research of self-loathing in Western historical narratives, arguing that these views often distort factual #history. The scholars also argue for history’s essential role in #democracy and learning from past mistakes. Ultimately, they conclude with reflections on contemporary global challenges, contrasting the open societies of the West with authoritarian regimes and expressing cautious optimism about the resilience of democratic values.
