The world needs better institutions
From climate change to cybersecurity to mental health and well-being, we face challenges with speeds, scales, and scopes that outpace current efforts to steer toward societal goals.
There are many good options
The world has a rich history of institutional forms and an ever-growing array of technologies to help collaborate, communicate, and build collective intelligence.
