We complain about too much bureaucracy — and then ask for more rules. Politicians promise to cut red tape by passing new laws. Think about that for a second.

Every new regulation adds weight to a system most people have stopped reading. The result? A spiral of confusion, contradiction, and compliance without comprehension. From a school that made a "voluntary" tool mandatory to data privacy documents nobody understands, the evidence is everywhere: we have stopped thinking and started ticking boxes.

In this episode, I argue that we do not need more rules. We need to understand the ones we already have. And that requires something far more uncomfortable than new legislation — it requires actual thinking.

If this makes you uncomfortable, good. You have already started.
