Are we hardwired to fail, or are our institutions just designed poorly? History shows that when we build for our "better angels," things actually work. It’s time to move past the contest and start solving problems before it’s too late for all of us.

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...

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.
The UK justice system is falling apart due to crumbling infrastructure and insufficient funding. Barristers are leaving the country to escape this mess. What happens when the legal system stops working for you?
Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.
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.
Imagine a branch of government run by ordinary people like you: these everyday people meet, deliberate, and vote on the same issues as the legislature. It is already working in places like Michigan. You will never see voting the same way.
Imagine rerunning the Brexit vote using a citizen assembly. Shortly after the original referendum, a citizen jury met to discuss the issues. After four days, the group swung from 26/24 majority in favour to a 30/20 majority against, roughly the position today.
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?
Why are teams with expert bosses significantly happier and more productive? We’re losing our way with "careerism," and it’s making our institutions less healthy. Watch to see why the "general manager" myth might be the biggest mistake in your organisation.
Ever wonder what actually happens in a real citizen's jury? People with radically different views listen to each other and despite the initial anger, leave in tears of relief. True democracy is about dialogue, not just winning a contest. Let's make our leaders listen and act.
Most people think politics is just about ideology, but it’s actually more like a bad game of tennis. When private interests start to dominate the shared goal, the most aggressive player wins and everyone else loses. Here is why our institutions are failing us right now.
Luke Akehurst tries to ward off a leadership challenge by saying it would increase pressure for a snap general election & what Labour needs to do is stick to delivering the program they were elected on Where in the manifesto did it say you'd restrict our right to trial by jury?
Trump: "Mr Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce is here. Looks good, looks handsome. Reasonably handsome. He doesn't look like Jaxson. I'll take Jaxson any day."

What's the REAL WHO’s Stance on Tobacco Harm Reduction? The WHO says it supports public health — but where does it really stand on vaping and harm reduction? 🤔They keep saying we “need more research” — but the evidence is already clear.
