We know what’s right, but politicians are too scared of losing their jobs to do it. From link bait to hot-button issues, the system is designed to hijack your attention and colonise our democracy. It’s time we look at how ordinary folks on juries can actually solve problems.

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...

Do you feel like politicians are just putting on a show? You're right. Our whole electoral system is built for drama, not deliberation. Discover why your vote feels like a ticket to a bad play.
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.
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.
Aristotle noted that you cannot define a knife without knowing what makes it good or bad. This applies to us too. Goodness is not an external judgment from the sky, but rather it is built into our makeup. We are living this drama, yet the modern world has forgotten it.
Polarisation is eroding the institutional safeguards that once balanced power in modern democracies. As partisan lawmakers manipulate election rules and district boundaries, citizens are turning to new reforms, like Michigan’s model, to reclaim fairness and accountability.
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 force leaders to play a brutal power game to win elections. When Joe Biden stepped down, we missed a huge chance to change the rules. Imagine a system that ignores campaign speeches and uses a Venetian merit system to pick the best candidate. It is time to end this circus.
Every expert thinks their solution is the only answer, but that’s exactly how institutions fail. If your system depends on one leader at the top, it’s an ego trip rather than a system. Watch how to shift from being "in charge" to building a truly high-quality system.
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.
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.
Putin regrets it a lot. His first regret was the loss of Moskva, the real pride of Russia. However, Putin's biggest regret was to try and convince Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire for a scaled-back parade on Red Square, held under heavy security, with fears of a Ukrainian attack. 😰

Trump's economic approval is not just the lowest in either of his terms. His net approval is lower than that of any president for any term. He's making the type of history that no president likes to make.
Is truth now the front line for comedy? On this episode of Stories and Strategies, I spoke with Michael Siegers of Zulu Alpha Kilo on why humour works when it reflects something people already recognise, and why the hardest part is saying something honest without causing harm.

RFK Jr. wants us to believe autism is on the rise, when what's actually changed is our understanding and tracking of it. He would know the difference if he had any background in medicine or science. And no, feeding mice to your pet falcon doesn't count.
