Inheritance Tax: A Love Story
What or whom do you love the most? Your family? Your girlfriend? Yourself? Well, what’s love got to do with it? If it does matter, how much do you love those people? And what would you do to preserve those whom you love so eloquently? Instead of saying that you love them all the time, […]
That’s Meritocratic Democracy

Optimised Education in a Meritocratic Democracy
“Mainstream education doesn’t challenge students to become critical thinkers. We have to move beyond old forms in order to produce a better system overall.

For Each Other, Not Against
As soon as people realize that Robotma and Crumney both have been mere figureheads of the real problem, we might actually start fighting for each other instead of against one another. Oil is bad. War is bad. Loopholes for the rich are bad. Lazy idiots are bad. Corporations have the power: it is in the […]

An Introduction to Meritocratic Democracy
Any rational person can see that our world in terms of human experience is disturbingly botched.

Slavery, war, disease, famine, […]
The Real Problem and the Real Hero
