@bryan_caplan Figuring out what would give other people what they want *is* compromise, compared to figuring out what you'd want.

@NickSzabo4@bryan_caplan You are saying that compromise isn't politically feasible?! -
@robinhanson@bryan_caplan No, I'm saying unless you're directly negotiating actual legal code, it's generally a bad political strategy. -
@NickSzabo4@bryan_caplan No one but a few leaders should think about compromise? Everyone else should only discuss desires? Implausible. -
@robinhanson@bryan_caplan Thankfully most laws aren't drafted by "a few leaders". Instead thousands (mostly professionals i.e. lawyers). -
@NickSzabo4@bryan_caplan And the few who draft exact law words are the only people who should think about useful compromises? -
@robinhanson@bryan_caplan They're generally the only people who can advance actual political goals by doing so. -
@robinhanson@bryan_caplan n.b. I'm not counting politician taking centrist position to win election as "compromise".
