> Cognitive capture is in many ways more worrisome than outright quid pro quo corruption Agreed, but it's also impossible to avoid this as long as the people in Congress are humans and not robots. We all believe in something, we all find some point of view more reasonable than another, and we all have experience in life (who we grew up with, who we associate with now) that vastly influence those cognitive biases. We'll always be able to strive to expand points of view and limit time monopolized by any particular cause, but in the end there's no avoiding "cognitive capture".
