[FRIAM] Trumps motives not judiciable because they are "in his head"

[uǝlƃ ☣]

I agree. It seems the essence (that I care about) of "bad faith" has something to do with *not* having aspirations to creativity nor competent execution. The question comes, maybe, with respect to how broad/universal you expect your solution to be. I read this article over lunch:

  Book Review: The Amazing Brain Cells That Link Mind and Body
  https://undark.org/2020/01/31/angel-assassin-book-review/

And found the following exemplary statement:

> “If we overemphasize the workings of microglia, and the biological mechanisms by which illnesses of the brain emerge,” Nakazawa writes, “we invite the kind of biological reductionism that overmedicalizes and belittles the intimate connection between the mind and the way it gives birth to our human consciousness.”

Coincidentally, I met some political activists (at lunch) pitching the brewery to let them hold a ranked choice voting session where they demonstrated RCV, but absent the political overtones ... with a beer flight. So, the participants would RCV the beers in the flight. Fresh off the warning above about biological reductionism and microgliopathy, I had to ask them the extent to which they thought RCV was a panacea. How much of our political problems will it solve? Etc.

I would say the Trump ilk have neither good aspirations nor good execution.   I guess I value them less than Nick.  :-)
