Three urgent structural changes are necessary to navigate the coming chaos: (1) End closed-party primaries and replace with open primaries and final-five voting to break the power of partisan primary voters who reward extremism; (2) Restore viewpoint diversity in institutions (universities, media, government) so that institutions can function as truth-seeking rather than political machines; (3) Reform child-rearing practices and raise the age of internet adulthood to 16 to restore childhood autonomy and protect teen mental health
