Alex runs a great account, and if she's a honeypot/entryist, she's the best I've seen, but this is a big macguffin. Any discussion of "what we need" that starts with any version of "people being better" is posturing at best, and would be better formulated as a prayer.https://twitter.com/kaschuta/status/1311944303917363201 …

This should have been a thread, but I got a bit lazy (am on vacation) If you play out this thought experiment, you quickly realize it’s impossible, therefore the precautionary principle / Chesterton’s fence. No utopianism about human nature here.

I'm a big fan of Chesterton's Fence, but it's downstream of what we're really looking at here, which leadership with good judgement, imo.

Curious what you see as being upstream. I have an almost Kaczynski-level of trust in our ability to model the future.

The actual motivation for policies is that the left is a defection machine - a series of excuses to overturn apple carts to steal apples in the chaos. The effects beyond that aren't considered and arguments about effects are just excuses under pressure to seem plausible enough

I think you’re right, but I avert my eyes. The fact that the left may be just mechanical, churning entropy is pretty apocalyptic.

I get the impulse but you have to accept it when you see the millionth consecutive "unforeseen consequences" (that were entirely foreseen) do nothing to change minds you have to entertain alternative explanations and this explanation is parsimonious and makes good predictions
