Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

    Read together, it looks like you’re preferring people’s democracy because liberal democracy handles too much nuance.

    Hadn’t heard that take before!

      No, it’s because liberal democracy is illogical in the sense that the narrative of getting the person the people want doesn’t hold up in reality.
      It ends up who can spend the most on political campaigns, which in turn ends up having the leader being bribed to do the bidding of the richest oligarchs rather than the will of the people.
      And what’s worse is that these oligarchs don’t have to be oligarchs of your country.

        In point 2. you equate your criticism for liberal democracy with that for the scientific method. Your latest argument doesn’t factually or logically hold true for the scientific method.

        Thus I must conclude that a. your arguments for point 1. and 2. are different, and b. your statements are uncorrelated even though they partially argue the same point.

        I mean, I guessed as much, but taking them as logically connected made for an entertainingly surprising take, and I thought I’d share it with you and the class.
