minus-square Hegar ( @Hegar@kbin.social ) linkfedilink20•5 months ago Think of them as 2 methods for determining policy They’re not though.

Policy is determined by the financial interests of our elites, our global imperial interests, and the form of our bureaucratic institutions. Democracy, science and policy are three very distinct domains.
