Is there room for a politician who uses Feynman-esque first principles to explain her views?
-
don't think it's possible. Physics is based on search for truth and ways to explain objective reality, politics is diametric oposite.

while physics is 100% facts-based, politics is like <40, 50, 10>% based on <emotions, incentives, facts>. This setup just does not lend itself to what we usually think of “explaining from first principles”.

People always say that politics is about emotion but I think that people just vote according to what benefits them, ie low taxes or more govt benefits. If I’m wrong, maybe someone could figure out a way to do first principles explanation AND stuff that appeals to our emotions.
