I love the world we live in: everyone has an opinion on severely complex matters and proffers it in an absolutely confident way that their opinion is the truth.

I don't like China's behavior (toward us and it's own). I don't believe for a minute that I know how to solve the problem, because every solution is bound to have unintended side effects, some which may be worse than the original problem.
- mattigames 6y agoYour opinion is also problematic, specially when politicians hold it (which is not uncommon), as in "This problem is way too complex, let's do nothing and pray that it will fix itself"
- e40 6y agoIf I were a politician, which I am not, I would do this: Gather the experts in the fields (there are likely more than one field at play) and manage their discussion. I would ask them questions and observe how they discuss. If I felt that one or both were not intellectually honest, I would replace them with other people, and repeat. Once I felt an intellectually honest discussion had reached a conclusion, then I would act (vote, provide legislation, etc). It is sad to me that we are moving away from a process like this and not toward it.
