- version_five 5y agoUnder-rated comment (I'm banned from modding). Technical experts can be trusted for information about cause and effect. They have no expertise about people, of compromise, of other goals people have, etc. This is a leadership task, ideally a coming from a good politician, limited by a good constitution. We seem to pretend that scientific statements about causality are the same thing as government policy instruction. They are not, technocracy serves nobody.
- guscost 5y agoYep, and we’re taking them back, cheers.
- tomjen3 5y agoI don't disagree, but they certainly do not belong to politicians.
