This panel discussion podcast, "If I Ruled the World," features Trevor Noah, Josh, and Christiana brainstorming hypothetical world changes. The episode begins with a humorous segment about ideal hospice drugs, transitioning into Josh's proposal that all citizens aged 22-55 undergo a psychedelic experience, which is debated by the panel. Christiana then suggests assigning everyone a partner (romantic, platonic, or familial), sparking a discussion about loneliness and societal structures. Finally, Trevor proposes eliminating politicians and establishing a direct democracy via a secure app, leading to a debate about the feasibility and potential downsides of such a system. The episode highlights the complexities of implementing large-scale societal changes and the potential unforeseen consequences of well-intentioned ideas.
