Jack Dorsey thinks social media should be a public good, not a profit machine. But if likes and shares don't build bridges between people on social media, what does? We’re looking at how "middleware" and merit-promoting networks could actually save our democracy.

Our representatives have become celebrity politicians who push their way to the top. What if we went back to the Athenian way and chose leaders by lottery instead? It’s the same logic we trust for our juries in courts, and it might just save our politics.

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.

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.

Every human conversation demands a careful balance between shared goals and private desires. When your personal motives dominate the interaction, the entire social ecology collapses. The balance between the shared and the private is the essence of whether our systems function.

Why do we crave things we know are bad for us? It comes down to the battle between what you want right now and what you want to want. See how social media platforms and politicians hijack this exact loop to keep you hooked.

The Most Honest Campaign Feedback Ever We all know that polished "politician voice" feels fake, but this story nails exactly why. When Lucas tried his campaign speech, his wife called it out for exactly what it was—bullsh*t. It’s the reality check our political system desperately needs.

Ever wonder what actually happens in a real citizen's jury? People with radically different views listen to each other and despite the initial anger, leave in tears of relief. True democracy is about dialogue, not just winning a contest. Let's make our leaders listen and act.

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.

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.
