There is no bigger intellectual time suck than national politics. The amount of time that is wasted discussing politicians, elections and policy is mind boggling.

It's a never ending cycle that takes people away from productive endeavors.

I came to this realization last night in the middle of a dinner. We wasted 20 minutes of our precious time speculating about the presidential election when we could have been talking about things that will actually make a difference.

Yeah i just hung out with some normie friends and they talked a decent amount about politics, like in the way where there’s this silent implied consensus on every topic. Surprisingly even included “obviously nuclear energy is bad”. It was a painful time waste.

The silent implied consensus they share makes it even leas important to talk about.
