Neste episódio, o antropólogo Piero Leirner analisa a tentativa de golpe bolsonarista e o relatório elaborado pela Polícia Federal, e propõe uma visão diferente da versão oficial.
Em um relatório de mais de 800 páginas, a Polícia Federal esmiuçou os detalhes do plano golpista tramado pelo ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro e seus aliados durante 2022 e 2023.
A ideia, de acordo com o documento, era assassinar o presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o vice-presidente Geraldo Alckmin, e o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes, além de, claro, manter Bolsonaro no poder.
O relatório se baseia em documentos, conversas e depoimentos coletados de membros do Exército, da Marinha e da Aeronáutica. No fim, pelo relatório, é possível se concluir que as Forças Armadas salvaram a democracia do Brasil pois não aderiram ao golpe. Mas será que é isso mesmo? E se, na verdade, as Forças Armadas elaboraram um plano que vai muito além de uma tentativa de golpe frustrada?
Neste episódio, falamos sobre a tentativa de golpe bolsonarista e sobre o relatório da Polícia Federal, analisando o que está por trás das narrativas oficiais.

To finish this series of bad ideas, David tries to persuade Gary Gerstle of the futility of televised leadership debates. From Nixon vs Kennedy to Harris vs Trump, do the voters really learn anything from these supposed exchanges of ideas? Are they ever much more than a competition to avoid gaffes? And what did British politics gain when it introduced prime ministerial election debates (apart from a brief attack of Cleggmania)?

For our penultimate bad idea in this series, David talks to Robert Saunders about what’s gone wrong with British politics since party members got to decide who leads the party – and in some cases who gets to be prime minister. Is the problem the principle of the thing or the people who end up in charge (Corbyn, Truss)? How did reforms undertaken in the name of democracy manage to undermine democracy? And what are the alternatives?

Today’s bad idea is a theory of the universe: David talks to astrophysicist Chris Lintott about Steady State Theory, the rival cosmological model to the Big Bang, which held its own for a while in the 1940s and 1950s but turned out to be unsustainable. Why did its best-known champion Fred Hoyle have so much faith in it? What did it expose about the limitations of Big Bang theory? And what does it reveal about scientific hubris and human weakness in the face of the unknown?
