How to win an election - The ugly truth You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. Stop falling for the slogans and the media portrayals. Watch how the winning strategy actually forces leaders to ignore "we the people" just to keep their funders happy.

Tired of the mudslinging and the constant "felon" vs "liar" drama? It’s time to move past the electoral circus and get back to actual dialogue. Find out why a citizens' assembly might be the only way to actually unite us all.
Ever feel like your conversations are being hijacked by someone else's agenda? Our political system has industrialised rage to keep you from focusing on things that actually matter, like education and care. Stop falling for the link bait and see how the game is really played.
Why is social media so toxic while Wikipedia actually works? It all comes down to "merit-ware" and how we reward truth over trolls. This video breaks down the bridging algorithms that could finally rebuild the middleware of our democracy.
When a lion cub playfully bites its mother, it’s learning how to survive. That instinct is why humans invented theatre. We play out events to understand our reality. From childhood to the language you speak, human connection is one massive game.
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.
Politicians divide us because that’s the most effective way to to get our attention. Juries start out trying to solve a common problem. And after they’ve deliberated citizens feel better understood, even if they don’t agree.
You wouldn't push a surgeon aside to do the operation yourself because hospitals rely on deep layers of earned skill. Yet, the people running our government win popularity contests to gain power. Are we trusting our entire society to the right system?
We’ve turned social media into a digital thunderdome, but it doesn't have to be this way. Wikipedia proved that radical openness can actually create a public good instead of total chaos. It’s time we stop amplifying our worst instincts and start building for our better angels.
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?
Think the internet is the key to direct democracy? If we all voted on every law, we’d spend hours every day fighting disinformation and hype. Here is why the ancient Greeks didn't use elections for their day-to-day decisions—and why we shouldn't either.
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"

This data center only employs only about 40 people. It uses local resources and drives down nearby home values with constant noise, without boosting jobs or contributing in taxes. They are toxic and should be heavily regulated-forcing them to use renewable energy and other cooling methods-not water.

The Lost Cause was a coordinated campaign. It rewrote textbooks, built 2,000+ monuments, and shaped films coming out of Hollywood. Ann Bausum has spent a long time tracing it back to its source. She joins us this week to shine a light for us. (2/3)
