We think of public goods as roads and bridges. But what if the most important public good today is information? This system is being compromised, and it's causing failures across our society. This is the pattern we must recognise.

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.
Ever wondered why politicians seem so fake? It’s because the system actually filters out honest people like Mal who can’t stomach the nonsense, leaving us with the narcissists who thrive on rage. If you hate the self-promotion, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re losing.
Why is your feed so toxic? Algorithms prioritise high arousal private interest stories over the subtler, non-hostile public interest ones. Unless it’s a fake AI tiger rescuing a goat/baby. Most of the time real public interest stories don't get traction despite being important.
Are we hardwired to fail, or are our institutions just designed poorly? History shows that when we build for our "better angels," things actually work. It’s time to move past the contest and start solving problems before it’s too late for all of us.
Remember the euphoria about social media 15 years ago? We were promised a global revolution, but we ended up in an anarchic thunderdome. If social media platforms are the cars, where are the rules of the road? Here is why our digital culture collapsed and how we can fix it.
Stop scrolling for a second and ask yourself: why do some online comments make you so mad? Social media isn't a meritocracy; it’s a clickbait engine fuelled by your anger. Here is how the "wrongness" of the internet traps your brain.
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.
Think the courtroom is about finding the truth? It’s actually a strategic game where the side with the most money buys the most convincing PhD. You deserve to know how adversarial justice is making fairness a luxury most people can’t afford.
Imagine a branch of government run by ordinary people like you: these everyday people meet, deliberate, and vote on the same issues as the legislature. It is already working in places like Michigan. You will never see voting the same way.
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.

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.

Appreciate Secretary Buttigieg lifting up what we’re building here in Northwest Georgia. People showed up. Not for politics as usual, but because they want change and leadership that’s focused on them. The energy is real. Leadership matters. And we’re just getting started. #GA14

Republicans flagrantly break the law while Democrats get hung up on, "well, technically." And worse: establishment Dems use technicalities to fight progressives. It's time to quit fighting with one hand tied behind our backs! #IndianaPolitics #USPolitics

No sé si este señor, el policía que investigó la trama de Ábalos-Aldama, es un inocente o un cretino, pero parece que todavía no se ha enterado de que el objetivo de este juicio ni es Ábalos ni es Aldama ni es aclarar ningún tipo de corrupción. El objetivo apunta más alto y todos sabemos cuál es.👇🤬

SEN. KELLY: I've spent 15 years working with Russian cosmonauts. Took me 5 years to understand what motivated them. Number one, appearance that they were in charge of something. Two, who to blame when something goes wrong. Three, what to steal today. Only four, mission success.

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.
