Basic income is basically vote buying but I santo talk about a POIJT relevant to politics distinct from policy making. I reckon people underestimate how deterministic ally politicians behave. I reckon they see party affiliation as a strength, the agenda of the day as opportunity and strength then just hammer not out. For real change here’s what I aNto see:
I’d like to see a TV show on Unpopular utility maximising political changes. In practice I doubt it would get much publicity since the oligopoly of broadcast television channels, but I invision resetting the agenda and reframing events and correcting common misconceptions via media so media responsives like politicians don’t have perverse incentives to not be daring and do good things, and don’t be so negative to one another..they can be like that motivational ted x guy simon Sinek says about leaders and how they have to feel safe...or can’t support industry like industry begs cause they aren’t a public ally supporting capitalist politicians
I mean, I understand that accurate reading is really difficult for some people, but surely even if you’re severely dyslexic you can see that “I santo talk” isn’t what you meant (presumably “I want to talk”), and likewise for “what I aNto see” (“what I want to see”). And any time you have a sentence over (say) 50 words, or more than 30 consecutive words with no punctuation at all, can’t you tell that something’s gone wrong?
Writing without fixing such things indicates one of three things: (1) you really literally aren’t capable of doing better, or (2) you value your own time so much more than your readers’ that you won’t take a minute of your time to save probably multiple minutes for each of several readers, or (3) you aren’t actually writing with the intention of communicating with others at all.
If #1: damn, that can’t be any fun, and I’m sorry; you’ll probably just have to live with knowing that some of what you write will be nigh-incomprehensible to others. If #2: if that’s your attitude to my time, I don’t feel much inclined to expend any of that time figuring out what you mean. If #3: you should not be doing this on Less Wrong.
(I paraphrase your comment thus: “I want to talk about politicians rather than politics for a moment. People underestimate how deterministically they behave: they just do whatever signals party affiliation on current issues. They are strongly incentivized to do this for fear of getting crucified in the media. We might promote real change by having a TV show that showcases political changes that improve the world despite being unpopular, except that the oligopoly of existing broadcast television channels would never buy it.” If that’s something like right—which it might well not be—then I’m not sure it’s that much more coherent after fixing the superficial problems. How would such a TV show actually get rid of (or outweigh) the incentives that make politicians over-conformist and over-concerned with party affiliation? And why is how deterministic politicians are the problem, rather than what determines their actions? Politicians who deterministically tried to maximize utility, or to do what the majority of the electorate wants, or to maximize GDP, might not be so bad, although all those have their failure modes.)

Voted down for incoherence.
Nah that’s dog man
It looks a lot like laziness, I’m afraid.
