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.

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.
Every expert thinks their solution is the only answer, but that’s exactly how institutions fail. If your system depends on one leader at the top, it’s an ego trip rather than a system. Watch how to shift from being "in charge" to building a truly high-quality system.
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!
Ideas are either regarded seriously by the policy community or as complete non-starters. Watch to learn about the Overton window of interest and the Overton window of the imagination.
You think you chose your political side, but did you really? The competitive system isn't just about voting; it’s programming how you see the world and locking you into a box. It’s time to realise that treating politics like a team sport is breaking our ability to think clearly.
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.
Our current system allows politicians to prioritise funders over voters: we need a standing citizen assembly chosen by lottery to assert itself into the voting process. It is time to expose the difference between party lines and what the people actually want.
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.
The UK justice system is falling apart due to crumbling infrastructure and insufficient funding. Barristers are leaving the country to escape this mess. What happens when the legal system stops working for you?
In early 2020, medical establishments treated Covid like influenza despite contrary evidence. Leaders prioritised public reassurance over facing the scary facts. This reveals a fundamental flaw in systems that value rule-making over genuine problem-solving.

“‘47’ Ways to Be Dangerous.” I grabbed my phone as quickly as possible to capture this. A U.S.Army helicopter just flew past my house so closely that my house shook. Not the 1st time that this has happened. Pardon my language in this video but I am outraged. This is an accident waiting to happen.

"There is also a tradition where Defense secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior," said Missy Ryan. "They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."

Big Biology guest Ludovic Orlando talks about the first time horses were domesticated. The Botai people were hunter gatherers who started to keep captive horses. He says this choice was likely due to environmental conditions that made the horse population smaller in the area where the Botai hunted.

78 years ago today, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948). This is dedicated to the memory of those who were displaced, to those who were lost, and to the resistance that never stopped. We honor their struggle. We carry their story.

I recently raised the importance of defence sovereign capability in Dame Chi Onwurah's debate on technology sovereignty. In a turbulent world it's ever more important that we develop robust supply chains that safeguard the UK's ability to protect itself and keep citizens safe.

It’s time to stop denying that this is still happening. There’s no ceasefire. There’s no peace in Gaza. Netanyahu enjoys this power. Wake up America it won’t be so acceptable when it happens here or when we do this to the so called drug countries. Just because we can.
