Politics aren’t going to change unless we get intelligent people in office. People who can look beyond pure data and understand the factors around different circumstances, people who can look at situations from multiple different perspectives. Lock in ppl

I don’t think smart people are going to change anything when our politicians are almost entirely bankrolled by major corporations

Bold of you to assume that the people in power look at pure data.

I was speaking on regular people who base their whole argument/beliefs on it without actually interpreting it properly and think about what else contributes to trends

Ah I see the problem here. You assume that people base their arguments and beliefs on data; it’s typically the other way around. People tend only to look at data that supports their beliefs. What you want is a public capable of critical thought, which is just not what we have right now. Making one is a generational process that is being actively sabotaged at every corner on every level,

Yeah more intelligent people. Again this starts with us though we have to find better ways to encourage critical thought without division

That’s not going to happen when the system is meant to keep everyone but the ruling class out of power

Intelligence doesn’t matter when elections come down to who paid the most money 90%+ of the time

People downvoting me but providing no plan. If anything does get shut down it would be by the elites and we’d be slaves to the system worse than we already are
