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?

Think Wikipedia is just a free-for-all? You’re actually looking at one of the most perfect meritocracies ever designed. From basic edits to committee approvals, here is how the world's biggest encyclopaedia actually keeps the "rage" out while social media lets it in.
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.
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?
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?
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.
Ever feel like you can't have a real conversation online anymore? It’s not just you, the entire system is built on "primary preferences" like sugar for the brain. Discover why our democracy started chasing clicks instead of the truth.
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.
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.
The Founding Fathers tried to fix power with checks and balances, but the system has still left the door open for tyranny. We are living in a pyramid structure that is way too easy for partisans to capture and weaponise. It’s not just a glitch in the system; it’s the design
Protests are powerful, but what if we had an inbuilt system for everyday people to hold the White House accountable? Imagine 50 citizens in Minneapolis, paid to deliberate like a jury, calling out constitutional breaches in real-time.
"Clamp them all" The US government have refused to pay the congestion charge for over twenty years @GreenJennyJones Londoners have to pay this, other embassies do, so why not #Trump ? Time for action.

Grandpa Trump sleeps while Hegseth stumbles, perhaps drunkenly, through an embarrassment of a memorial day address. No wonder Iran was able to use Lego cartoons to beat the US at war.

It appears HHS head Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s promise to tell Americans exactly what causes autism is unlikely to happen in September. But there’s still that potential Tylenol study reported in the WSJ. More in Conversations on Health: How We Get There. Links on stephanishelton.com/conversationsp

"There is also a tradition where Defense secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior," said Missy Ryan. "They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."
"A lot of these [Project 2025] authors came from the first Trump administration," said @dgraham.bsky.social. "So their idea was to put together this vision for sort of maximalist executive power. ... To establish a very socially conservative vision of America."

American system is broken and is unsustainable. From an unaccountable president starting wars to sky-high mortgages and fuel costs. The status quo is failing YOU. We don't need to go back to "how things were"-we need a total structural reform, even a constitutional amendment.
I recently raised the importance of defence sovereign capability in Dame Chi Onwurah's debate on technology sovereignty. In a turbulent world it's ever more important that we develop robust supply chains that safeguard the UK's ability to protect itself and keep citizens safe.

It’s time to stop denying that this is still happening. There’s no ceasefire. There’s no peace in Gaza. Netanyahu enjoys this power. Wake up America it won’t be so acceptable when it happens here or when we do this to the so called drug countries. Just because we can.
