This week, The Ezra Klein Show examined two distinct but complementary questions about how we navigate uncertainty: what Democratic leaders would do differently to address California's crises, and what Buddhist philosophy teaches us about accepting what we cannot control. Together, the episodes explore the tension between the political impulse to solve problems through policy and the spiritual practice of finding peace amid intractable challenges.
