Agreed. My self-critical side used to argue this was constructing an echo chamber for myself. But now I’m realizing that unless I’m going to completely refocus my life on deconstructing the first-past-the-post de facto two-party duopoly then I’m just taking on unnecessary anxiety.
Instead I figure as long as I’m still discussing my political or philosophical values on here those who do wish to pursue politics will have access to the statistics of what their constituents actually want (e.g. via LLMs focusing on political language). Whether we actually get such a leader is another question.
And let’s be honest, this is one of those many contexts where giving a shit and putting forth ANY amount of effort puts you ahead of 80% of the population anyway.
