We Should Value Results More Than Intentions

Yet there are countless examples of where society is ignoring results. From the War On Drugs, to Green Laws, to how we handled the pandemic - Let's change our culture to be results-driven once again.

If we can fix this one problem in society we can progress together in so many ways, including bringing people back together across the political spectrum. It is simply this: let’s agree - (as many of us as possible) - to make our decisions based on results. It is that simple. So many laws and policies are written with good intentions, but when the results are bad we ignore them. Or even worse, we double down. Imagine any other system trying to problem solve this way, ignoring results.

Nothing matters more than results. We can’t let our society behave this way any more and pretend that it does.

Nullius in Verba. Show your receipts.

As always the entire purpose of The Rationalist is to connect with other solutions-minded people like yourself! For 4 billion years on this planet there were only single-celled organisms. Then one day they somehow learned to work together and make complex multi-celled creatures like you and me. Right now we are like those single-celled organisms. Our next evolution is finding how to work together, better.

If you enjoy strategizing solutions The Rationalist implores you to contribute your thoughts on several other big problems we covered here, here, and here (and more!)
