Because someone is going to ask at some point, my political ideology is as follows:
• http://zackmdavis.net/blog/2012/12/counterfactual-social-thought/
• http://zackmdavis.net/blog/2017/03/dreaming-of-political-bayescraft/

@niplav nice -- digging into this later today. Full disclosure: I'm a bit worried by 'being smart is more important than being good', though :)
@flancian it's not a complete description, but I think I mostly endorse this (though that hinges on a belief that most people want to be at least a bit good, and want to avoid being bad at reasonably high cost, many positive sum trades are left on the ground due to irrationality and actively bad people are rare)
@flancian but also, it's easier to convince people that they want become smart than to convince them to become more moral
