Why being political is a waste of time

With Donald Trump facing Kamala Harris in the upcoming US election, I wanted to explain why being overly political is a waste of your time.

I begin by discussing the Overton Window, and how it changes with time as the variables within society evolve.

Then I put forth my thesis that the Overton Window will naturally guide our society to make the correct political decisions because it uses a concept known as “the wisdom of crowds”.

Because of the relative efficiency of these large scale systems, any individual attempting to canvas or move the needle politically is wasting their time.

There is growing political polarization happening in the USA, and I go into the common theories as to why, as well as my own take, then implore folks to lower the temperature on their political discourse and look for ways to compromise.

Finally, the government feeds off of our tax dollars. If you care about these politicians, make money and pay a lot of taxes. Don’t waste your time being political. The system will self-correct through the Overton window.
