In this post I argue why public policy-making is broken and propose a new model of how it could be fixed. To test these ideas in practice, I've started poli.cy.
If people worked on problems on the meta level like this we'd be so much closer to effective law-/policy-making and science-based policy (not the same as evidence-based policy). I also thought about such a platform, not just small changes like "LawInProgress". Here is a timeline of [policy-studies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prototyperspective/Timeline_of_governance_and_policy_studies_2020%E2%80%93present). I don't understand why people think we can meet today's problems with totally outdated policy-making- and problem-solving systems.
This post raises a big problem and then, after a lot of discussion, doesn't solve it. Wikipedia has the NPOV or neutral point of view and that's the secret sauce that leads to convergence. People may not be able to agree if George W Bush was a good president but they can agree when he was born. Policy is not about an 'is' but about two 'oughts'. What things ought we to change and how ought we do that. And that will always generate a lot of disagreement both well motivated and not so well motivated.
