    We need to elect PhDs who have proven intellectual rigor

    You want Jordan Peterson? Because that’s how you get Jordan Peterson.

      Not sure who that is but after a quick google I believe I understand your point. My idea that I’m trying to get across is that politicians are obsolete, we need PhDs who specialize is the dynamic systems involved in governing and balancing the many needs of the public. The current model promotes politicians who favor power and money / those who fund them. Throw in an uneducated public or the hyper-focused capitalist and trump is what you get. We’re not heading in the right direction with the current model.

        Blind faith in technocratic ‘meritocracy’ just gets you guard rails and inclusivity stickers in the bootonyourthroat factory.
