Publicity stunts often make us think of typical Mad Men with crazy ideas to capture the attention of newspaper editors. Or celebtrities making a fake announcment on Instagram, and retracting it once they've been trending a while. Some say that in 2021, every tweet, post and vlog is a publicity stunt. To be a mover and shaker in industries that traditionally wouldn't need notoriety, now requires hundreds of thousands of followers just to be respected. So what can we learn today from a bow tie-wearing maverick responsible for famous PR stunts like chainsaw juggling, or flying Nando's chicken in helium baloons over London?

The legacy of Trump's years is a hotly debated topic. The debate is a legacy in and of itself. For many, he was the straight talking, bulldozing champion of true America.

The dawn of civilisation is the moment from which we believe everything could only get better. In his latest book though, Rutger Bregman argues this might not be the case. Since then we've innovated war, extreme poverty, food and water inequality, and we've become so densly populated that we harbour and spread diseases across the globe. The catalyst, he argues, is that we assume the worst in others, which effects our behaviour towards them.ABOUT RUTGER BREGMANRutger Bregman is a popular historian and author who's been described as the “Dutch wunderkind of new ideas”. He first went viral after scolding an auditorium of economists at the World Economic Forum in Davos, over tax evasion and it's impact on global poverty.

Geopolitics, international relations, and the will of powerful individuals are to many - in the West at least - something that doesn't concern them. It's about the goings on of elite 'suits' who speak a unique language designed to give as little information as possible. It's the murky underworld of hackers tapping away in dictoral countries.
