It’s commonsense: the rules of the political game need to be kept out of politicians’ hands. But where most democracies did that, the United States did not and is now backsliding on gerrymandering, voter suppression and partisan courts.

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...

Have you ever wondered why Wikipedia doesn't just turn into a big mess? It turns out there’s a strict ladder of authority and a committee process that keeps everything in check. Here is how a global army of volunteers actually aligns their goals to build something world-changing.
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.
We trust regular people to decide criminal trials, so why not trust them with the big stuff? From tax rates to fixing gerrymandering, see how citizen juries are already making better decisions than politicians. People's minds can change a lot when they actually talk.
Open competition for power in our politics has its downside. We need some countervailing institutions to slow the rise of psychopaths to the top and to focus democracy on what kind of future we want rather than on which memes can be got to fly.
You believe in shared rules, but what happens when politicians ignore them? We are seeing a new crisis of democratic norms. Can our leaders save us? The shocking answer is NO. Find out why the defence of democracy must be taken off the politicians and given back the people!
We’ve turned social media into a digital thunderdome, but it doesn't have to be this way. Wikipedia proved that radical openness can actually create a public good instead of total chaos. It’s time we stop amplifying our worst instincts and start building for our better angels.
We’ve turned our elections into a giant game, but politics isn't supposed to be a sport. George Washington didn't want to be President, and that reluctance was exactly what made him the right choice. Here is the lost history of how we were supposed to pick our leaders.
Our representatives have become celebrity politicians who push their way to the top. What if we went back to the Athenian way and chose leaders by lottery instead? It’s the same logic we trust for our juries in courts, and it might just save our politics.
Michael Polanyi coined the term "tacit knowledge," which is the idea that our most fundamental wisdom comes from striving to make life better. You’re building a pathway in the multiverse every single day without even realising it.
Why social media is breaking our brains - Ever wonder why every online "conversation" feels like a war zone? We’re playing a game where the referees only care about the ticket sales, not the rules. It’s time to look at how maximising profit actually collapsed our culture.
A bill criminalizing coercive control was introduce in the South Carolina Senate! #fyp #domesticviolence #dv #dvsurvivor #women
Once again, Donald Trump is off on an unhinged rant about the fairness of an election where votes didn't go his way. He cannot accept defeat. We will not allow him to silence the voices of American voters.
🇨🇦 The Paradox of Digital Sovereignty Canada asked 11,000 people: How should we govern AI? Then used American AI to read the answers. The irony is almost perfect. But it reveals something profound about the future we're building together. New Heliox episode 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2405788/epis...

There is no reason the military should be at our polls. Period. When I asked, Secretary Hegseth wouldn’t answer directly. That’s because he knows President Trump is watching and doesn’t want to make him angry.

Hornbills in India monogamous , mate for life. Live 35 -40 years in the wild, 50-70 years with human care. The female seals herself into a natural tree cavity seals it with mud leaving only a slit for the dedicated male to pass food to her and then the chicks for 3 Months until they can leave!

Béla Tarr, 1955-2026: the great cinematic poet of despair, whose movies were as rigorously bleak as they were paradoxically invested in the infinite value of every human life. The Kafka of motion pictures. Thread of images from his masterpiece Damnation (1988).
