Democracy by Theatre: Why Boring Policies Matter Ever wonder why schools crumble while politicians argue about culture wars? It’s because fixing education isn’t "entertaining" enough for the news cycle. We’ve turned democracy into a reality TV show, and we’re paying the price.

Most people think democracy is just about voting, but there’s a "depolarisation machine" hidden in our history. By bringing back the jury-style model of representation, we can finally reduce the power of lobbyists and special interests. It’s time to balance the stool again.

We're wrecking the "game" of society by letting partisan interests run the show. From the courtroom to your social media feed, the lack of a neutral umpire is fuelling dysfunction. It's time to demand a reality we can actually share again.

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.

Ever feel like politicians are nothing like you? You aren't alone. We went from everyday citizens holding power to being ruled by career celebrities. If elections just create a toxic contest, where do we turn next?

What happens when you give everyday people the power to challenge Congress or Parliament? Simple: a safeguard against political polarisation, bringing common sense back to our government.

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.

Think Wikipedia is just a free-for-all? You’re actually looking at one of the most perfect meritocracies ever designed. From basic edits to committee approvals, here is how the world's biggest encyclopaedia actually keeps the "rage" out while social media lets it in.

It’s commonsense: the rules of the political game need to be kept out of politicians’ hands. But where most democracies did that, the United States did not and is now backsliding on gerrymandering, voter suppression and partisan courts.

No mountain, no sea, nothing in this world can tear us apart, because this world is not my world... you are 🌍❤️ #love #relationshipgoals #lovequotes #romanticquotes #relationshipquotes

I do not trust Donald Trump to be in charge of the might of the United States military.

Is truth now the front line for comedy? On this episode of Stories and Strategies, I spoke with Michael Siegers of Zulu Alpha Kilo on why humour works when it reflects something people already recognise, and why the hardest part is saying something honest without causing harm.

Fox & Friends co-host: “I wish the talking point of that the strait was open before the conflict, people got to stop doing it. It was a beautiful day the morning of 9/11.”

The media is once again spending countless hours talking about Joe Biden's health while largely ignoring Trump's obvious physical & mental decline. Trump hasn't been seen on live TV in a week, yet nobody in Washington seems interested in asking why. Why doesn't the same standard apply?
