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.

Why is your feed so toxic? Algorithms prioritise high arousal private interest stories over the subtler, non-hostile public interest ones. Unless it’s a fake AI tiger rescuing a goat/baby. Most of the time real public interest stories don't get traction despite being important.

Have you ever watched a politician defend something you know they don't believe? Seeing Penny Wong forced to argue against her own rights broke Josh Szeps' faith in the party system. It proves our political setup is fundamentally broken.

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.

Have you ever wondered why Wikipedia doesn't just turn into a big mess? It turns out there’s a strict ladder of authority and a committee process that keeps everything in check. Here is how a global army of volunteers actually aligns their goals to build something world-changing.

Most politicians don’t actually represent you, so why do we keep electing them? Imagine a House of Citizens chosen by lottery just like a jury. From Texas to Ireland, regular people are already making big decisions. Are you ready to fire the professional campaigners?

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-Kennedy debate was one of the last real political conversation.

Economics explains why social media apps turned into tribal battlegrounds: they prioritised private profit over the public good of our shared network. If we want to fix the internet, we have to start treating it like a game of tennis where the rules matter more than the score.

We think of public goods as roads and bridges. But what if the most important public good today is information? This system is being compromised, and it's causing failures across our society. This is the pattern we must recognise.

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.

Anthony Edwards, whose mother died in 2015, says that he wanted to win today's game for her.

What part of you’re saying the same things about Tom Steyer that Donald Trump’s supporters have said about him for the past decade “people can change” does not apply to snake oil salesmen who’ve made billions off hurting people like Trump & Steyer.
