Tom Joseph is the Treasurer of America's Main Street Party and is intent on counteracting gerrymandering. Tom describes a new system for nominating political candidates through a multi-round, app-based contest that operates separately from the traditional public primary system.  The goal is to produce more popular, centrist candidates by making them accountable to constituents rather than chosen by party leadership and wealthy donors. We talk about: Driving constituent endorsements based on a candidate's position on key issues Creating an election app where candidates compete over five rounds, advancing based on endorsements rather than financial contributions Designing a model that avoids traditional candidate ads and rallies during the nomination phase Need to leverage voters from minority populations in heavily gerrymandered districts to help select more moderate nominees #AmericasMainStreetParty #PoliticalTech #CampaignInnovation #Gerrymandering #DigitalOrganizing #PrimaryReform #CivicTech #Elections  MainStreetParty.org

Long before “AI Agent” was the buzzword in every product discussion, Julia Dalton was already deep into solving the problems of coordinating thousands of worker agents, creating clear instruction prompts, and evaluating output quality. Julia is SVP of Product at the AI-support automation platform, Capacity. Previously, she helped scale workflow orchestration at OneSpace, formerly known as Crowdsource, where thousands of freelancers executed microtasks for major retailers. As it turns out, managing humans at scale and managing AI agents have a lot more in common than most people realize. In this episode, Julia shares: The two failure modes that kill every AI agent before the model ever runs Why running a crowdsourced work platform gave her incredible insights into building effective agentic AI products How Julia and her team built an AI system to triage and prioritize product feedback, automating low-complexity builds and helping make better decisions on high-stakes tradeoffs Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliadalton/ Capacity: https://capacity.com/ Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:52 Julia's startup roots at OneSpace 02:00 Transitioning from the human API to AI agents 02:47 Microtasking workflow chains 06:54 Routing rules and AI orchestration 11:55 Validating prompts with simulations 15:08 Recursive prompting in practice 17:46 Data and knowledge orchestration 20:57 PRP triage app for product requests 26:56 Conclusion Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

The biggest scourge in fantasy sports today is crowd-sourcing. Jeff Mans explains why jumping from site to site and analyst to analyst may seem like a good idea, but how it is likely ruining your performance, specifically in daily fantasy and sports betting. After that, Jeff hits the news of the week, including reactions to the Giants' firing of head coach Brian Daboll, Travis Hunter being out for the season, JK Dobbins' injury prognosis, and the possible return of Joe Burrow. Mans gives out his week 11 power rankings with quite a few changes at both the top and bottom this week. As usual, there are the top 10 waiver wire pickups of the week and some pointed thoughts on the misinterpretation of the Rams' backfield. Jeff then compares the fantasy football leaderboard by position for the full season to the leaders over the last four weeks to uncover which players are on the rise and which have fallen off dramatically. As always, he provides his survivor team pick for week 11 and his Thursday Night Football bet of the week for the Jets and Patriots.

Crowdsourcing can be an effective way to engage your audience, but when it comes to defining your brand, it isn't always the best strategy. In the latest episode of Inside Strategy, Jennifer Mulchandani, CEO, and Antra Montmarquet, Marketing Manager at Arlington Strategy, discuss when crowdsourcing works and when it can backfire. The post When to Crowdsource Your Brand and When Not To first appeared on Arlington Strategy.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. At a meeting with military leaders on Tuesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Trump opened the door to an urgently needed corrective to our national security posture.  In the context of restoring the Pentagon's focus on warfighting for a potentially imminent conflict, Secretary Hegseth told our top commanders “The next war…will likely not have a rear area.”  And President Trump declared that the United States has been “invaded” and now confronts “enemies within.” Such statements are, in fact, irrefutable. Notably, Joe Biden's open borders permitted a stealthy invasion by Chinese soldiers and jihadists. Ominously, we don't know their exact numbers or whereabouts, but can no longer ignore the threat they pose to our infrastructure, people and country. Americans must be enlisted in crowdsourcing “situational awareness” about – and supporting the authorities' neutralizing of – such enemies within before they strike here. This is Frank Gaffney.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveIt's the summer doldrums, so this week, Wisdom of Crowds is taking a break from politics and war and Trump. Instead, we are talking about culture. Our guest, Paul Elie, is one of the leading culture and religion writers in the United States. His words have appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and the New York Times. Paul's latest book, The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s, tells the story of artists in the 1980s who grappled with religious ideas and stirred up controversy while doing so. U2, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Piss Christ, Sinead O'Connor and many more play a role in a masterful, novelistic retelling of that fateful decade in American cultural history.Damir Marusic is curious about Paul's concept of “crypto-religiosity,” which Paul uses to describe an abiding sensibility in 1980s art and culture. Is it actually a unique category? Aren't all Americans crypto-religious to a greater or lesser degree? Isn't that the legacy of Protestantism? Santiago Ramos pursues a different line of questioning. What might a healthier relationship between institutional religion and cryptically-religious artists look like?In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Damir and Paul compare the 1980s music scene with that of the 1990s; Damir explains why the 1990s felt “less devotional and more ecstatic”; Paul talks about his first time listening to “Smells like Teen Spirit”; Santiago and Paul discuss the coming culture of “ex-vangelicals”; Santiago confesses to not having his s**t together in his 20s; Damir asks: “How can you do good punk rock if Bill Clinton's the president?”; the three discuss why Trump hasn't yet generated a counterculture or artistic resistance; Santiago mentions Macklemore's Gaza song; Paul and Santiago discuss “radtrads,” and the coming rebellion against radtrads; Paul tells Damir why he should be religious; Paul explains why electoral politics is our modern day bread and circuses; and more!Required Reading:* Paul Elie, The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s (Amazon). * Paul Elie, The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage (Amazon).* Julia Yost, “The Scandal of Dogmatism” (Compact). * Damir Marusic, “The Pursuit of Passion for its Own Sake” (WoC). * Damir's discography from his punk rock days (Discogs).* Damir's music with his band, The Miss (Bandcamp).* CrowdSource, “Protest Music” (WoC).

Last month, Francis Fukuyama was scheduled to come to Washington, DC for a live taping of Wisdom of Crowds. Unfortunately, as subscribers know, Frank lost his voice the morning of his scheduled appearance, and we were forced to cancel. However, we were able to record a bit of conversation with him and Shadi Hamid the following day, with a few colleagues asking questions.The conversation ended up being a quasi-“state of liberalism” address, perfect for July 4th weekend.The conversation begins with Frank discussing the current challenges to liberal societies, addressing why some in the West today might be dissatisfied with it, but also why people living in autocratic regimes throughout the world still long for liberalism. He talks about the lassitude and dissatisfaction that permeates liberal societies, and the contradictory desires for ever-greater equality and spirited competition that drive citizens to rebel against liberalism.During the question and answer session, Fukuyama takes questions about recent events. He discusses the rise of right-wing parties in Europe, as well as recent developments in France, Germany and Romania. He touches upon citizenship, borders, deportations and Trump's immigration policies. And he answers the question that was on everybody's mind that night: Is history still over?Required Reading* Francis Fukuyama, “The End of History?” (National Interest). * CrowdSource, “Fukuyama's Children” (WoC). * Damir and Shadi's 2022 conversation with Francis Fukuyama (WoC).* Santiago Ramos, “Kicking the Ladder” (WoC).Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture.

Ever think you have to do things all by yourself? What if friends and even strangers can offer fresh ideas and perspectives? Tune in to Being Here and let the party begin.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveFriend of Wisdom of Crowds and frequent podcast guest Samuel Moyn is a professor of law and history at Yale University, and author of several books, including Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War (2021, Macmillan) and Liberalism Against Itself: Cold War Intellectuals and the Making of Our Times (2023). He is also the author of a recent article saying that no, sorry, the courts cannot save American democracy.If you've been following our podcast lately, you'll know that Shadi and Damir think differently. Both are preoccupied with the question of whether we're in a constitutional crisis. And both have argued that it's the Judiciary branch which can stop Trump from becoming a tyrant. We are in a state of “brinksmanship with the Courts,” as Damir puts it. Moyn, however, warns that “Judicial processes can launder radical political change,” like the ones Trump is trying to make. The Supreme Court might cede a lot of ground to the Executive before we get a big decisive case that checks Trump. In fact, we might never even get such a case. The real test for democracy, Moyn argues, will come at the ballot box: “Do we have elections that stay competitive where the loser accepts his loss?” A lot will depend on whether Democrats can figure out how to make a popular platform. A lot, too, will depend on Republicans, and whether at least some of them will part ways with Trump. Shadi asks Moyn for some historical perspective. Is this the biggest crisis in US history? Probably not, but what can we learn from historical perspective? What is the baseline against which we should judge ourselves today? Moyn argues that “The only use of the past is to make a better future. … Let's try to understand why things broke before.”In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Moyn and our hosts discuss recent White House legal challenges against birthright citizenship; anti-Trump lawfare; why Moyn believes that “what the law is is decided in the present political struggle”; why a parliamentary system is usually more democratic than a presidential one; whether the US is culturally attached to a strong executive branch; and much more.Required Reading and Listening:* Samuel Moyn and Ryan D.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“I am done saying, ‘impossible',” announces Damir Marusic. At least, with regard to what Trump might do or could do in the near future. We are still in the midst of a major shakeup in the administrative state. The so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is combing through Treasury data and cutting government personnel. Trump is delaying the distribution of federal funds. Trump's policies have full support of the GOP-majority Congress. Meanwhile, the White House foreign policy agenda has upended three years of support for the Ukrainian war cause and, apart from that, is strikingly imperialistic — annexing Greenland and “owning” Gaza are stated objectives. Will Trump become a dictator?Shadi Hamid believes that Trump won't become a dictator — America is too big for a dictator — but he very will might signal the end of the “liberal” part of our liberal democracy. Damir fears that, by the end of Trump's second term, Congress will become a vestigial representative body with littler power, like the Senate in the Roman Empire. Both worry that the demise of democracy could come in a subtle, slow way — a “boiling frog” scenario.Shadi and Damir move on ask whether what's happening is what Trump's voters asked for. Why is Trump popular right now? Why do people want to break the state? Shadi says, “[Trump voters] believe that the system is fundamentally broken. Certainly, for a majority of Americans, the system is broken.” Damir partially agrees, but adds: “It's a lot more resentment-based … Not really an idea that ‘the system is broken' for me, but that it's populated by those people over there, and it's time to hurt them.” But why so much resentment? In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Shadi talks about the Democratic Party's potential to resist Trump and why the working class likes Trump (hint: it doesn't have to do with economics).

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveThe international drop in baby-making is currently in the headlines, and it's been constant preoccupation for us at Wisdom of Crowds (including in our latest edition of CrowdSource). It concerns us not only because of the possible long-term economic consequences but also because a people's inability — or lack of desire — to reproduce itself might be the consequence of serious moral or social problems.Enter philosophers Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman. Anastasia is a professor at University of California at Irvine, while Rachel is managing editor for The Point. Berg and Wiseman have written a book that asks the fundamental question right in the title: What Are Children For? Why should people reproduce? Should people desire to do so? And why has there been a drop in birth rates? What are the issues underneath the decline of fertility in the United States and around the so-called developed world?Damir presses Anastasia and Rachel on the question of false consciousness. Are the young people telling themselves stories or giving themselves excuses instead of just … making a choice? In response, Anastasia and Rachel say that they take a sympathetic approach. They analyze the objective factors that seem to hinder family formation — cost of living, inability to find a mate, fear of the future, etc. — and see whether they truly are insurmountable. As philosophers, their goal is to enhance the free choice of individuals. If what you choose “by inertia” (because it is the cultural default) is not what you would choose if you had thought about things more clearly, then you are not truly free. The conversation runs deep, but it is also extremely relatable for Wisdom of Crowds listeners who, on average, tend to be on the younger side. Stick around for a quasi-defense of Millennials, too. They're not immature; in fact, they might be too “old” for their age … Enjoy!Required Reading:* What are Children for? On Ambivalence and Choice by Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman (Amazon). * “On Choosing Life,” by Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman (The Point). * Rethinking Sex: A Provocation by Christine Emba (Amazon). * “The Real Reason People Aren't Having Kids,” by Christine Emba (The Atlantic). * “Wham! Choose Life” T-shirt (Amazon). Wisdom of Crowds is a platform challenging premises and understanding first principles on politics and culture. Join us!

Author Don Tapscott visits Google to discuss his book "Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything". In just the last few years, traditional collaboration in a meeting room, a conference call, even a convention center has been superseded by online collaborations on an astronomical scale. Today, apps, jetliners, operating systems, mutual funds, and many other products are being created by teams numbering in the thousands or even millions. While some leaders fear the growth of these massive online communities, author Don Tapscott's book "Wikinomics" proves this fear is folly. Smart firms can harness collective capability and genius to spur innovation, growth, and success. A guide to one of the most profound changes of our time, "Wikinomics" challenges our most deeply-rooted assumptions about business and will prove indispensable to anyone who wants to understand competitiveness in the twenty-first century. Based on a $9 million research project led by Tapscott, "Wikinomics" shows how masses of people can participate in the economy like never before. They are creating TV news stories, sequencing the human genome, remixing their favorite music, designing software, finding cures for diseases, editing school texts, inventing new cosmetics, or even building motorcycles. An important look into the future, "Wikinomics" will be your road map for doing business in the twenty-first century. Originally published in February of 2007.

What might be the largest cyber security glitch-attack in global history is largely being blamed on cybersecurity company Crowdstrike. The name of the firm and timing of the outage is by all consideration more than coincidental: to strike a crowd, exactly what happened to audience members when former President Trump was shot on July 13, and precisely what he has been saying for years: they will have to come through him to get to you. The timing of the outage is within hours of the RNC ending. All of this follows the ongoing obvious trend of lawsuits failing, polls indicating a massive populist resurgence globally, not just domestically, and Biden announcing he may step down to medical reasons. The so-called glitch took down banks, airlines, emergency services, basic business transactions, hospitals, courts, schools, and public transportation. Although not catastrophic, it shows us what may happen naturally or by malicious planning. It's eerily similar to the ending scene of Leave the World Behind, where it is described a three stage maneuver that could topple a country's government from within. ISOLATION: disable communication and transportation. SYNCHRONIZED CHAOS: terrorize them with covert attacks and misinformation, which will force people to turn on each other.

Drew Lanham - People have fought and died for the right of others to play * It is not a luxury; it is an essential part of being human * Dave Bindewald - In the face of suffering, our task is not to marginalize play, but to double-down on its importance. Jane McGonigal - Given that We are Wired for Play, How Can We Gamify Life? * Would probably still define work and play a little differently than she does (she says play is work we enjoy), but she is great at exploring ways to bring elements of play (voluntary, unnecessary obstacles) to work * What are some examples? * Quests to do chores * Tombstone Hold-Em * Crowdsourcing Research - Three Body Problem * However, they are still a means to an end. So What's Going On Here? If Play is Unnecessary, Why is it Such a Necessity? * On our next episode, the spiritual necessity of play Takeaways Play is a universal and essential part of the human experience, not just for children but also for adults. Playfulness and play have been present throughout history and across cultures, from ancient games to modern-day fashion and coding. Animals also engage in play, demonstrating the innate nature of playfulness. Play is a catalyst for human creativity and cultural achievements, shaping our society and civilization. Play allows for experimentation, exploration, and the development of new ideas and concepts. Play is a universal and essential part of the human experience. Bringing elements of play into other areas of life can lead to increased creativity, team building, and enjoyment. Games can be used to crowdsource solutions to complex problems.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveYou might have noticed that Wisdom of Crowds got a facelift this week. We touched up our homepage and added two new features: CrowdSource and Provocations (read more about both here). In this spirit of renewal and relaunch, on the podcast we are getting back to our bread and butter with a classic Shadi and Damir episode. This week's episode deals with the virtues of resignation. Is giving up ever the right choice to make, either in politics or in one's personal life? Shadi has been reading a book about “settling” — On Giving Up by Adam Phillips — and he muses on the topic in latest piece in Wisdom of Crowds: “Giving Up is Good for You.” Damir worries that giving up means resignation, a rejection of life, a denial of adventure. He considers Shadi's mention of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Does Shadi understand the full implications of Nietzsche's philosophy? Damir wonders. In the bonus section for paid subscribers, the talk turns toward war and geopolitics, where Shadi discusses how wars end in" “settlements” — a form of giving up. Finally, the conversation wraps up with a reevaluation of Damir's personal philosophy, and a look back at last week's podcast episode with Phil Klay.Required Reading:* “Giving Up is Good for You” by Shadi (Wisdom of Crowds).* Adam Phillips, On Giving Up.* Friedrich Nietzsche (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).* Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra.* Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals.* Friedrich Nietzsche, The Joyful Science.* Adyashanti official page (YouTube).* Podcast episode with Phil Klay (Wisdom of Crowds).
