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.

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.
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.
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.
Stop voting for the loudest person in the room: learn how a Council of Leaders and secret ballots, not elections, can improve institutional logic and restore trust in our modern democracy.
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!
Our current system allows politicians to prioritise funders over voters: we need a standing citizen assembly chosen by lottery to assert itself into the voting process. It is time to expose the difference between party lines and what the people actually want.
Mal Meninga was a rugby legend, but he lasted only six weeks in politics before walking out. He wasn't weak; he just wasn't "fake" enough to survive the game of self-promotion we force leaders to play. This is exactly why we keep ending up with the wrong people in charge.
We know the price of everything and the value of nothing. From waiting in a queue to editing Wikipedia, here is why we need to stop promoting leaders based on cash and start looking for intrinsic merit.
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.
Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget. It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

Well, it is Saint George's Day again! It is a day often exploited by nationalists intending to drag the country back, but we may as well mention that Saint George seems to have been from Turkey. #SaintGeorgesDay #SaintGeorgesDay2026 #HappySaintGeorgesDay #HappySaintGeorgesDay2026
RFK Jr. continues to politicize medicine and wage war on vaccines. He fired 17 medical experts that advise our nation on vaccines so he can stack the panel with a bunch of anti-vaccine wackos. It’s dangerous to Americans, especially kids, and erodes trust in public health institutions.

Een man redde een cobra door hem water te geven. Toen de cobra weer hersteld was, viel het de man meteen aan. Zo gaat het ook met mensen uit Afrikaanse en islamitische landen; je geeft ze alles en krijgt daar een hoop geweld en stank voor terug. Het blijven wilde beesten! #Fix

Many Trump supporters are outraged that the U.S. Capitol replaced the Robert E. Lee statue with statue honoring civil rights icon Barbara Rose Johns. So I thought I’d rub it in.
