📝: democracy, capitalism, polite secular agnosticism, etc are all appealing in that they aren’t answers to the questions that they address, ie they’re systems which punt the decision-making to the sum of whatever people do personally, which is what would happen if you didn’t have a system in place
I don’t like +1ing anything, but this is an important point that I’ve repeatedly tried to make (with a lot less brevity).
Also it’s worth saying that “appealing” != “is actually a good answer.”
