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.

Stop scrolling for a second and ask yourself: why do some online comments make you so mad? Social media isn't a meritocracy; it’s a clickbait engine fuelled by your anger. Here is how the "wrongness" of the internet traps your brain.

When McKinsey brought corporate metrics to British Intelligence, truth became a secondary concern. Discover how a "point system" for senior readership incentivised agents to sensationalise reports, leading to one of the biggest intelligence failures in history.

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.

Remember the euphoria about social media 15 years ago? We were promised a global revolution, but we ended up in an anarchic thunderdome. If social media platforms are the cars, where are the rules of the road? Here is why our digital culture collapsed and how we can fix it.

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.

In early 2020, medical establishments treated Covid like influenza despite contrary evidence. Leaders prioritised public reassurance over facing the scary facts. This reveals a fundamental flaw in systems that value rule-making over genuine problem-solving.

Most workplaces are full of people "kissing up and kicking down," but Wikipedia found a different way. You start as a stranger and have to prove your reliability to a panel of real humans. Is this the blueprint for a better way to work together?

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!

Wikipedia should’ve been chaos, but its "invisible architecture" saved it. Successful open-source isn't a free-for-all, it’s a meritocracy of "middleware" and gatekeepers. Without this structure, social media stays toxic. How do we fix the digital conversation?

Landry: "Greenland needs a deal. Greenland could be exporting 2 million barrels of oil a day right now. Think about what kind of pressure that would relieve in the Strait of Hormuz, what kind of leverage that would give America. It's time for the Danes to come to the table and let's get a deal done"

AI can be used ethically for pre-visualization or social media, low budget comedy & political satire. If an artist like Madonna appears in her own artistic expression why not. The problem is when jobs are eliminated by stealing the art of humanity. Turning artists into slaves & digital rape is evil
