My issue with politics is the lack of control. If I am engineering a pet project or even a module for work, I have a large degree of control over its construction.
With politics, it seems like you fight and fight and nothing ever changes-a complete lack of control. It also seems like there is infinite cherry picking of data... I just want to get the objective facts which at this point I'm convinced do not actually exist.
- pm90 14y agoI think this paragraph reflects what you are saying: "The reason that scientists and engineers don't go into politics is because they find it deeply frustrating to deal with people who are lying, know they are lying, and do not give a shit. Further, they find it deeply, deeply frustrating to work in a field that does not rely upon evidenced based thinking, but relies upon emotional persuasion and the systematic abuse of the irrational behaviorism of the crowds." from:http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ol4sn/in_western_countries_why_the_fuck_do_we_keep/c3i73kg http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ol4sn/in_western_...
