- PaulDavisThe1st 4mo agoso it's political ... so what?
- calvinmorrison 4mo agoSo why should any function of government be free from politics? The point of our system is so we can give feedback and adjust the system
- PaulDavisThe1st 4mo agoI don't disagree. I'm not sure what point you're responding to.
- IAmBroom 4mo agoYou're missing the key distinction here: not only are the seeds selected by a political body, but the active weeding of previously planted seeds is now inherently political. Both are bad, but one allows some diversity; the other produces a monoculture. A political monoculture that can be completely upended before even any useful crop is grown, given the nature of a working democracy versus the length of research projects. And yes, I'm aware that those last two words are no longer guaranteed.
