I had never seen Ghost in the Shell until a few months ago. I assumed it would be underwhelming. It's a 90's anime and even if good —probably been done to death, right?
I was wrong, and this clip nestled in the middle demonstrates the unbelievable artistry of the film.
I basically think the average voter is pretty wrong on:
1) Nuclear power (it's good)
2) Foreign aid (we spend very little on it and should spend more)
3) Climate change (a majority say they're not willing to have any additional amounts of their tax money spent on climate. The national average willingness to pay for things that help with climate is ~$300 per year)
4) Immigration (I think it's broadly good across the board, and definitely good to get more high skilled immigrants specifically)
5) Price controls in general (bad!)
I'd like governments to patiently nod along to voter concerns but quietly approve more nuclear, spend more on foreign aid, pay way more on climate, and allow at least more high skilled immigrants. I just flat out think it's wrong for politicians to have 1-1 similar views to the median voter and sometimes they need to diverge.
I also think it can be a symptom of not knowing what you really want out of life and from people generally
The more clarity I got on what I was looking for in friendships, the more likely it became that any random clustering of people I love would also like each other
