We would keep the guys who think people are animals out of the ideology
department.
Let's pretend for a moment, that we had the resources to minimize global
human suffering. What would we do?
I would expect to see at least three different groups of effort:
#1. A "scientific" group attempts to understand the way things are. (This
is the kind of stuff I like to think about.)
#2. A "normative" group works on ideology. (This is the kind of stuff Brad
likes to think about.)
#3. A "tactical" group utilizes the product of the other two to formulate an
action plan.
