Realist Idealist Labs

disruptive idea(l)s in the real world

Realist Idealist Labs is a project by Jake Brewer to explore what (actually) works in:

  • Creating smarter, simpler government 
  • Improving “civic health” and making communities stronger
  • Sharing ridiculously compelling stories that move people to action when and where it matters most
The two founding principles of Realist Idealist Labs are:
  1. “No ideal strategy survives first contact with the real world.”  
  2. We “cannot solve problems with the same consciousness that created them.”
