you know, the problem is that there is this desire by voters to elect people they can identify with. And while this is understandable, the truth is that voters should elect people that are better than they are according to as many criteria as possible.
Instead, we are at the death of expertise.

Indeed, that's the problem of many people's view of the "good" rules: they are etched in stone. This forgets that society is the manifestation of a biological system (us) and is thus adaptive. You can have the best democratic rules, and sooner or later anti-democratic forces will evolve... 1/2

Maybe when someone starts a war to avoid court, it is not a good idea to pardon them so that they can focus on the war they started to avoid court.
