The most underrated cognitive bias: we intuitively understand that complex systems can't be controlled, yet demand that politicians promise to control them. Democracy then selects for the most convincing liars.
comments in ascending chronological order (reverse):
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
