Why does every political leader today sound like they’re reading from the exact same PR script? Back in the 70s, leaders actually admitted when they changed their minds or disagreed with their party. Today, it’s all 14-second soundbites and stolen credit.

Wikipedia works because it is a meritocracy, unlike politics or business. We confuse competition with merit. Competition gives us great tennis players, but does it give us the best leaders? Let us rethink what winning means for society.

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.

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.

A surgeon always thinks the answer is surgery, and a psychotherapist thinks it's all in your head. Your specific expertise is actually blinding you to the real problem. Stop trying to force your professional toolkit onto every issue and learn to see the system as it really is.

Imagine rerunning the Brexit vote using a citizen assembly. Shortly after the original referendum, a citizen jury met to discuss the issues. After four days, the group swung from 26/24 majority in favour to a 30/20 majority against, roughly the position today.

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.

We’ve convinced ourselves that elections are the only way to run a democracy, but we’re missing half the picture. There’s a second, even more powerful way to represent the people that we already trust in courtrooms, so why aren't we using it in government?

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.

Our political system is sclerotic because politicians are too busy trying not to get ousted to actually lead. Nicholas is proposing an activism of sortition to help everyday people into the decision-making process. See how we can light the spark to bypass this gridlock.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux, “The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the heart of a mother.” While widely attributed to her, this quote is often highlighted in Catholic traditions to honor all mothers, both living and deceased, as reflections of God's love.

Michael J. Fox met his wife, Tracy Pollan on the set of Family Ties. They were married on July 16, 1988 and have been since having four children. She didn’t just say in sickness and in health she lived every word of it for decades. Original post
