AGREED. Broad statements need to be qualified and there have to be mechanisms for filtering out ideas based ONLY on greed and ignorance -- as hubski well knows. When I see "everyone will be heard and respected," I think of a meeting, any sort of meeting -- there are people who have earned a place at the table -- who are silent. I feel strongly that if you are at the table (or a virtual table, like a hubski jitsi meetup) then those who are doing all the talking should invite everyone to speak up. Still, even Tsar Nicholas II had his Rasputin. One last thing about seeing Biden talk last night: he seemed to have a moral compass that was rooted in ideas beyond his own whims. A moral compass is something like a personal mission statement or set of values and ideas that you look to when making difficult decisions.The definition of Moral Compass: An internalized set of values and objectives that guide a person with regard to ethical behavior and decision-making.
