@LoamAndLight @DavidDeutschOxf @joebosphilos Leaders who win elections should get their policies enacted, but should also be restrained in some real way or else knowledge would more likely be lost than gained. And that likelihood should be limited.

@MarkRPellegrino Pure economic systems don’t seem optimal.

@MDSebach Hate to break it to you but republicans now allow the government to buy shares in multiple companies, pressure other companies on their prices and policies, personally advertise companies Trump invests in and to arbitrarily enact and remove tariffs. But yes, more about socialism.

@Briankeating Close but not correct. Math proofs aren’t really *proving* anything in a completely final way. Nothing can be proved with certainty, not even that the earth is not flat. This is because we are all fallible.

@PaulRRobichaud Our actions are *mostly* driven by actual ideas, sometimes by more primitive needs in which we intentionally fabricate false ideas as a justification.

@ToKTeacher @MarkRPellegrino *They’re* not *always*. You shouldn’t speak in such absolutes.

The political system envisioned by the US founders would have prevented much of the damage currently being done to American interests by Trump. Which is sometimes better than prioritizing the expediency of political change.
