Have you ever watched a politician defend something you know they don't believe? Seeing Penny Wong forced to argue against her own rights broke Josh Szeps' faith in the party system. It proves our political setup is fundamentally broken.

Ever feel like politicians are nothing like you? You aren't alone. We went from everyday citizens holding power to being ruled by career celebrities. If elections just create a toxic contest, where do we turn next?

Imagine a party leader admitting to a journalist that their personal views contradict their own party. That level of honesty feels impossible in modern politics. See why independent politicians give us hope and remain a stabilising healthy influence in a very bad situation.

The survival of the loudest online Ever wonder why the internet feels so toxic? It all comes down to how social media environments reward outrage. It is a battle for your attention where shouting always wins, so the internet morphed from a democratic dream into a massive shouting match.

Think Wikipedia is just a free-for-all? You’re actually looking at one of the most perfect meritocracies ever designed. From basic edits to committee approvals, here is how the world's biggest encyclopaedia actually keeps the "rage" out while social media lets it in.

Centuries ago, 50 random citizens ran an entire city to stop the rich from taking over. They used a system Aristotle claimed was the only path to true freedom. Why did we swap this fair lottery for a system that keeps the same few people in power?

Why do we crave things we know are bad for us? It comes down to the battle between what you want right now and what you want to want. See how social media platforms and politicians hijack this exact loop to keep you hooked.

Learn why most medical research is either wrong or completely useless for your health! Our system prioritises publication over problem-solving, hindering real progress. Watch to see how the "sociological laws" of academia are holding back real medical progress.

Our political system is sclerotic because politicians are too busy trying not to get ousted to actually lead. Nicholas is proposing an activism of sortition to help everyday people into the decision-making process. See how we can light the spark to bypass this gridlock.

Democrats are rooting for Ken Paxton to win the Republican nomination in the Texas Senate race, believing he is the most beatable GOP option. The Hill's Amie Parnes breaks down on The Fight For 2028 the party's growing confidence in James Talarico getting a victory.

Boundaries create safety. Safety lets your nervous system relax. Communication keeps energy moving. When nothing is said, resentment builds, and attraction drops. Boundaries keep you whole. Communication keeps you connected. That balance is where passion flows instead of fades.

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!

The fuel price shock we're seeing now demonstrates just how risky our continued dependence on oil and gas is for British households. The govt must do all it can to bring down energy costs - decouple the price of electricity from gas and wean us off dirty volatile fossil fuels.
