Wow. Normally your tweets are smart. This is just canned, tired cynicism.
This isn’t confusing. Politicians largely don’t care about impact and don’t make reasoned, principled decisions; they pick a party and then run polls to determine their stances. What we call a “politician” is a crowdsourced AI algorithm fed by polling data and played by an actor.https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/1169426923845574662 …

wouldn't you agree that a politician using large quantities of data would be able to make better decisions, on average, than a politician that does not?
-
Depends on the data. Voter preferences = no. Scientific = probably.

Hmm maybe. I don't know that I believe this though More likely to me that politicians know they have incomplete knowledge with constrained cognitive load to go first principles. So rely on network for details which has intentional or unintentional orthodoxy

Was her point about the spent fuel rods wrong? I genuinely don’t know.

Stroing spent fuel rods is an issue. However, current nuclear weapons treaties don’t allow us to repurpose those rods and reuse them. France does this repurposing for their nuclear fuel. I felt like Yucca mountain was a good solution for storage; many people do not.
