154. Unserious: The World is Being Led by Toddler Mentality

153. Undefensible: Elites Can’t Defend Their Utopian Positions

152. Undefeated: We Continue Winning in Iran
As war resumes in Iran, one thing has not changed, and that is that we are winning every step of the way – at least, that is, if you listen to the administration.

151. Unpatriotic: A Tale of Two Societies

150. Uncelebrated: A Somewhat Muted 250th Anniversary For America
As the 250th anniversary of our nation’s birth comes around, there is a noticeable lack of enthusiasm and belief in our founding principles, particularly from specific ideological viewpoints.

147. Unconspiratorial: Who’s Really In Charge Here?
A 2014 Princeton study revealed that average American citizens rarely, if ever, get legislation they care about passed.

146. Unencumbered: Is Group Allegiance The Real Villain?
The big problems we are facing appear to often have simple solutions that would have overwhelming support from the populous. So why can’t these simple solutions be implemented?

145. Unenergetic: Energy Is Power

144. Unfixable: Institutions And Systems Are Now Broken Beyond Repair
If the statement, “The purpose of a system is what it does,” is true, then one does not have to look at too many of our current institutions and systems to see that what they have become are not systems to support everyday Americans, but rather systems that take from those citizens.

143. Unchanging: An Artificial Pause?
The pace and ferocity of the news cycle has diminished over the last couple of weeks.

142. Unscrupulous: Ego Continues To Drive All Problems
It seems that, despite our belief in how far we have evolved, many or all of the significant problems we currently face seem to have a common denominator – ego. Examples include, but are not limited to: The war in Iran, insider trading, and Congress’ inability to carry out voters’ wishes.

141. Unaware: How Can We Understand If We Don’t Even Know?
Across the spectrum, from Iran to AI, and from insider trading to attempted assassinations, it seems clear that much of the reason we can’t agree or make progress is simply because we don’t have clarity about what’s really happening or what's driving decision making.

140. Unknowable: How Can We Get Out Of The Iran Mess?
After several weeks, even with a recently declared ceasefire extension, there are still so many factors and circumstances in Iran that we simply just do not know. Also, the number of scientists and officials disappearing has reached a level that is difficult to ignore.
