To understand how we get out of our collective world mess, we need to understand what technology lock-in is and how it relates to market power and establishment forces. Give me a few minutes.
Ever feel like you're living an episode (or season) of the Twilight Zone? This is how I've felt for months - not just the last few, but before the election, too. How have we come to this? And how do we get out of this? Give me a few minutes.
The Left is losing its touch. For an ideology that is focused on tolerance and open-mindedness, the Left's Resistance movement seems to be so focused on reacting to Trump and the GOP, that it's forgetting how to listen to others to be better in
When conservatives speak, they hear a different message than what liberals hear. When liberals speak, they hear a different message than what conservatives hear. Did Donald Trump call Mexicans murderers and rapists OR did he highlight a border
Will the liberal backlash be strong enough to take back full control of Congress in 2018 or 2020? Will the Right destroy its own chances to have majority control of the government for a generation? Will the anti-establishment movement continues
Generally speaking, conservatives tend to prioritize the Constitution and Religion over human rights, equality, and justice. While Liberals tend to prioritize human rights, equality, and justice over the Constitution and Religion... With 51% of
The amount of discord between the Left and the Right with the election of Donald Trump. Progressives can achieve far more by moving beyond panicking. Everyone can achieve far more by moving beyond bickering. It's not one ideology or another tha
Progressives have seen nothing but negativity in the election of Donald Trump. He's not a progressive, but there are some very likely positives that will come from Trump's election for the progressive cause... if people see the potential possib
If management is a science, then leadership is most certainly the art... but like the martial arts, leadership can be learned, practiced, and improved. Yet, we don't do enough in business, government, or community organizations to develop our l
There's no doubt that free market principles deliver incredibly value to the consumer and to the ownership of the prevailing businesses. However, the consolidation of market power produces troubling realities with no easy solution. Amazon is an
In a previous episode, I talk about the need to talk about politics differently. What are some ways to make that real and act on that concept? Give me a few minutes
Have you noticed the trend in the way we talk about politics these days? Have you noticed how every conversation seems to take an our-team-vs-their team approach? We have to change this. Here's why. Give me a few minutes.
Why did Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton? It may have less to do with either candidate than the pundits would like you to believe. In fact, it may have more to do with a growing gap between leaders and communities both in and beyond government
We live in a country where 1 in 5 children go to bed hungry every night and 200,000 veterans are homeless. Our presidential debates should be smart, fun, funny, collaborative, introspective -- and they're far from that. Our population engages w
The left-right mindset defines a lot of our conversations today. The echo chambers and bubbles of each side operate in the left-center and the right-center, but the further left/right you get in your politics, the more they become very similar.
Transparency is important for building trust. Without transparency, we can't have accountability. Without accountability, trust falls, engagement decreases, injustices prevail, and the oligarchy arises. Dashcam and bodycam footage should be rel
The Sunlight Foundation is going through an identity crisis. It's done great work for open government, but its theory of change must evolve to go beyond radical transparency and include radical engagement. We are living in a tech-driven world.
A disturbing scenario played out this past weekend with simultaneous terrorist attacks in New Jersey and in New York. Both political parties started reacting in a very political manner. Did you catch it? Their reactions aligned with how you wou
Are we entering a pseudo 'cold civil war' or is this new era of distrust between ordinary citizens just a passing phase? As the two major presidential candidates ramp up their attacks on each other, people will become increasingly turned off fr
Editors, producers, ad creatives, and a number of other "content creators" for mass media consumption shape your world. Someone makes Bieber and Kardashian more important in your newsfeed than the millions of people being left behind by our cur
We've changed from a "top-down" society to a "networked society", but our organizations haven't. In too many places, we're still operating with a top-down leadership style - government, political parties, non-profits, unions, you-name-it. We ne
Today's technology does not help us come together to build the world we want and need. And that's okay - that's not what it was designed for. That's why we're building Powerline. For people's power - the tech we need, for the world we need. Lea
Whether it's in the workplace, in a non-profit, or in your town, people need space to come together, discuss their common challenges and different perspectives, and innovate. Digital and physical, it's critical for our future. Otherwise, increm
The US style of top-down leadership needs to shift thanks to our now-emerged networked society. So, how can leaders take the first step to be more effective in this new era? Leaders need to provide space for people to link, learn, share perspec
There's a tremendous amount of instability in the system. Instability that will not be solved by either Clinton or Trump in the next couple of years. We have to stop the "us vs. them" approach to politics - so how do we do this? We have to purp
