We evolved on the African savanna to solve problems in groups. So why do our modern institutions rely on endless, divisive debates? There is a way to use a different logic: one that centres on everyday citizens instead of rigid ideology.

Ever notice how politicians dodge every awkward question during debates? We traded real conversations for pre-rehearsed talking points and zero-sum contests. See why the 1960 Nixon...

Why does the loudest person in the room always seem to win online? We’ve built a "shoutocracy" that rewards rage over actual merit, but there’s a way to fix the middleware of our democracy. Discover how bridging algorithms can actually help us find common ground again.
Politicians represent their funders and the powerful before they ever think of you. What if we stopped electing them entirely and used a lottery system instead? See why regular people make better decisions than the career politicians.
Aristotle noted that you cannot define a knife without knowing what makes it good or bad. This applies to us too. Goodness is not an external judgment from the sky, but rather it is built into our makeup. We are living this drama, yet the modern world has forgotten it.
You wouldn’t let a tennis player call their own lines, so why do we let politicians set their own rules? This is the simple umpire fix that could restore trust in our institutions. It’s time to change how the game is played. We need independent truth, not more partisan fighting.
Most people call astrology a pseudoscience, but are we even testing it correctly? Spencer Greenberg tried to find a correlation between sun signs and life events and found absolutely nothing. But then the astrologers told them why the tests were wrong, and things got interesting.
Polarisation is eroding the institutional safeguards that once balanced power in modern democracies. As partisan lawmakers manipulate election rules and district boundaries, citizens are turning to new reforms, like Michigan’s model, to reclaim fairness and accountability.
You think you chose your political side, but did you really? The competitive system isn't just about voting; it’s programming how you see the world and locking you into a box. It’s time to realise that treating politics like a team sport is breaking our ability to think clearly.
You’re being tricked into amplifying the very things you hate. In a real-life pub, we’d just ignore the loudmouth, but the internet turns our outrage into profit, creating the rise of rage bait. See why the attention stack is rigged against us and how we can change the game.
What if we could have a secret ballot on the issues Congress refuses to touch? From Brexit to gun checks, discover the one mechanism that could make parliaments responsible again. The power of the "better angels" is closer than you think.
Why does every political leader today sound like they’re reading from the exact same PR script? Back in the 70s, leaders actually admitted when they changed their minds or disagreed with their party. Today, it’s all 14-second soundbites and stolen credit.

No sé si este señor, el policía que investigó la trama de Ábalos-Aldama, es un inocente o un cretino, pero parece que todavía no se ha enterado de que el objetivo de este juicio ni es Ábalos ni es Aldama ni es aclarar ningún tipo de corrupción. El objetivo apunta más alto y todos sabemos cuál es.👇🤬

A few months ago, Gavin Newsom was publicly affirming support for trans and LGBTQ+ people. Now the language has shifted to being more “culturally normal.” That shift isn’t subtle and we notice it. We are human beings. Stand with the TGI community because you care, not because it looks good.

A imagem do Caetano Veloso se formou na ditadura, quando era visto como o ícone da esquerda "heterodoxa" (incluindo "libertários" e trotskistas) contra a "ortodoxia" dos fãs de Chico Buarque e Geraldo Vandré. Quanto ao olavismo, o Caetano foi fã antes de o Olavo pregar a violência em 2018.
