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.

Irish politicians faced a deadlock regarding same-sex marriage due to immense pressure from the Catholic Church. Using a random ballot, a Citizens' Assembly was able to listen to other ideas, discuss, and ultimately break the stalemate, securing a supermajority for equality.

Most people call astrology a pseudoscience, but are we even testing it correctly? Spencer Greenberg tried to find a correlation between sun signs and life events and found absolutely nothing. But then the astrologers told them why the tests were wrong, and things got interesting.

Watch how a simple lottery system could replace endless debates and finally put everyday people back in the driving seat: what if the best leaders are the ones who never ran for office?

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.

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.

The survival of the loudest online Ever wonder why the internet feels so toxic? It all comes down to how social media environments reward outrage. It is a battle for your attention where shouting always wins, so the internet morphed from a democratic dream into a massive shouting match.

Edmund Burke famously said that society is a pact between the dead, the living, and the unborn. We’re standing on the shoulders of giants, but are we actually adding anything for the people coming next? It’s time to rethink what kind of legacy we are actually leaving behind.

Politicians represent their funders and the powerful before they ever think of you. What if we stopped electing them entirely and used a lottery system instead? See why regular people make better decisions than the career politicians.

I voted against the Courts and Tribunal Bill last night. Restricting jury trials is not what victims are asking for. They want changes that are backed by evidence and will drive genuine improvements to the justice system.

An Israeli unit's "homecoming" party featured their well-documented annihilation of southern Lebanon's villages, met with cheers and laughter from crowds of soldiers, their relatives, and family members. It is a scene impossible to see anywhere but Israel. 👉🏼Barbarism is the hallmark of the IDF👿👇🏼
