You're saying Joe Biden or Trump or Kamala Harris should have the ultimate authority over growth? Those are the people you trust to cap human potential?

  You understand they don’t make laws, right?

    You're saying the current or previous congress should decide what human growth should look like then? I don't see how thats much better

      It's easy to poke fun at government incompetency but like it or not they are who your country elected to make the sorts of decisions that shape its future. The only truly abysmal government is one that is paralysed into doing nothing at all.

        Therefore they should be empowered to have full authoritarian control over your life? Government incompetence is why limited government exists. Can you state a definitive opinion instead of dancing around with nihilistic platitudes?

          My opinion is that if a government can be elected on the grounds of promising to improve how we define what sort of "growth" is worth pursuing and implement policies to achieve that, then it has a duty to follow through on such promises. The only thing nihilistic is concluding voters genuinely don't care, or simply don't believe there are better ways of measuring and sustaining growth (in which case, so be it, and we accept whatever fate such nihilism consigns us to).
