The work
How would we govern if we recognized that humans had limits?
We are building a policy framework based on the reality that humans are not machines.
The framework
Policy domains
-
Labor
Limits of time
Right to disconnect laws, maximum weekly hours, caretaking flexibility
-
Media
Limits of attention
Regulate addictive design and infinite scroll, promote local media
-
Consumer Protection
Limits of understanding
Plain language requirements, regulate predatory complexity in financial products
-
Health
Limits of our bodies
Healthcare as a right, regulate exploitation of evolutionary weaknesses
-
Education
Limits of development
Limit automation of instruction, later start times for adolescents, protect recess and unstructured play
-
Technology
Limits of our minds
Regulate dark patterns, promote tools that serve human limits
