You believe in shared rules, but what happens when politicians ignore them? We are seeing a new crisis of democratic norms. Can our leaders save us? The shocking answer is NO. Find out why the defence of democracy must be taken off the politicians and given back the people!

When McKinsey brought corporate metrics to British Intelligence, truth became a secondary concern. Discover how a "point system" for senior readership incentivised agents to sensationalise reports, leading to one of the biggest intelligence failures in history.

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.

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.

Ever feel like politics is just one big, exhausting culture war? Belgium tried something radical by letting 50 randomly selected citizens call the shots on the issues that actually matter. See why they're focusing on real life issues instead of just trying to get in the headlines

Political parties are transforming judicial appointments into partisan weapons, actively eroding long-standing democratic safeguards. With courts becoming ideologically predictable and systems easily manipulated, basic democratic norms are increasingly at risk.

Politics is broken, but we already found a cure: there is a way to bypass endless ideological debates and focus on serving the public interest. The answer lies in a house with no formal power but a massive influence.

Why does the loudest person in the room always seem to win online? We’ve built a "shoutocracy" that rewards rage over actual merit, but there’s a way to fix the middleware of our democracy. Discover how bridging algorithms can actually help us find common ground again.

Competition can be a trap. For centuries, we have designed institutions that run on and reward self-interest, squeezing out the shared centre that actually matters. We either learn to collaborate on a planetary scale or we watch everything we have built fall apart

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?

Vilifying immigrants has been a pillar of Trump’s political platform since the very beginning. So it’s refreshing to see another foreign leader absolutely school him. Prime Minister Martin puts it beautifully: If you want your economy to grow (as Ireland’s has), you HAVE to invest in people.

Told @cnn that Trump tying the Iran deal with regional accession to the Abraham Accords will ensure that the war continues. But Trump may be raising the Accords to bolster his pro-Israeli credentials and deflect from inevitable criticism that his deal is opposed by Israel.

This campaign is about more than one seat in Congress. It's about whether working people finally get a voice loud enough to break through the corruption and the greed that has taken over Washington. Join us in the fight.

This weekend, I helped cut the ribbon at Olmsted Park in Sedro-Woolley. I brought home $500,000 in federal dollars to help bring the park to life, and I'm glad that the community will be able to use this new space to play soccer, fish, picnic and more.

One of the biggest misconceptions about personal development is that the teacher must have everything figured out.  I thought I needed to arrive before I could speak. I thought I needed to solve every problem before I could offer insight.

A imagem do Caetano Veloso se formou na ditadura, quando era visto como o ícone da esquerda "heterodoxa" (incluindo "libertários" e trotskistas) contra a "ortodoxia" dos fãs de Chico Buarque e Geraldo Vandré. Quanto ao olavismo, o Caetano foi fã antes de o Olavo pregar a violência em 2018.
