You were an open tab on my Brave browser, which I'm trying to clean up. Saw it and thought - haven't seen much of you on Kling's site, what are you up to?
This was a fine neo-interview with Q&A. I have one more question for you: what one policy that seems politically realistic would you prioritize support for?
My (two not one) answers are a) 8 year term limits on being a Federal bureaucrat, including IC folk (who can go back to military or state law enforcement); and
b) require colleges to have at least 30% Republican professors & staff, as well as 30% Dems, in order to qualify for tax exempt status.
First policy that comes to mind is to increase term length for House of Representatives from 2 to 4 years.
And since you gave two, I will as well. Yuval Levin has said that “introducing the primary system is the biggest mistake in American Political history”, and I’m sympathetic to that view. I would like to see us move back closer to how things worked before that change.
A quote from Levin’s “A Time to Build” on the topic aligns nicely with the theme here— “In effect, the parties lost some crucial elements of their inner lives.”
