I agree with his mindset on a lot of things. If he actually runs, I'll give him his own thread and discuss it

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

We want to set a maximum of 8 years of service for the people who have jobs requiring expertise.

That's gotta be the stupidest idea I've ever heard. And I read KCrim.

the idea that it takes experience, particularly when running a country like the US (i mean, just foreign policy alone), appears to have been completely lost on some

Neither. I'm trying hard to come to grips with your scientistic embrace of the cult of expertise.

i just appreciate that it often takes a certain level of experience to get shit done

i’d think you of all people could appreciate such a stance when talking about the bloated bureaucracies that make up this fine nation

Michael Lewis has written and spoke about this subject a ton in both his podcast and in The Fifth Risk. I found his pro-expertise arguments convincing.

Come out and just say it. Vivek’s proposal (if can call it that) is just idiotic. So by extension academic bureaucracies are too bloated with entrenched (tenured) professors and thus all instructions will be conducted by term-limited teaching assistants? As we have said before, Vivek is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person sounds like.
