知名法学学者 Lawrence Lessig 在 TED 的极速幻灯片高能演讲。他尖锐指出美国政治被极少数巨额金主绑架的制度腐败根源，呼吁跨党派力量推动根本性的政治改革。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 政治与制度讨论中频频引用的底层逻辑之作，深刻阐明了为何不解决金钱政治，其他任何社会改革都只是无源之水。
「这场 TED 演讲只有 18 分钟，但它对任何实质性改革所提出的现实洞察令人不寒而栗。」HN 网友原话：This TED lecture[0] is only 18 minutes long and it offers rather a chilling perspective on any sensible reform.
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
In this TED talk, Lawrence Lessig argues that American politics is corrupted by Congress's dependence on funding from a tiny fraction of citizens. He uses rapid-fire visuals and calls for a bipartisan push to reclaim the Republic.
HN cites it repeatedly as the root-cause argument that money in politics must be fixed before other issues, and as background for his Mayday PAC.
