I recently read about a study that suggests that many in leadership positions are self selected. And that a lottery system to select leaders randomly would work just as well. What we get are self selected, self serving sufferers of a Dunning-Kruger effect.

The rot starts at the top of the ticket. That candidate said to women “You will be protected, and I will be your protector, Women will be happy, healthy, confident and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion, that’s all they talk about, abortion, because we have done something nobody else could have done.” I don't even know what to say.

And need I even mention the candidate for governor in my state? They're a bunch of nincompoops who think they know better and think they are better.

Um. He came to Asheville and didn't once mention "Asheville", "hurricane", or even "Helene" is his campaign speech. He brought out his greatest hits, the border, immigrants, immigrant crime, San Francisco.... It's been posited that he's just trolling us. But I think he's really saying, "don't believe your lying eyes, just believe what I tell you, and all politics is national".
