Sometimes, making educated guesses when information is incomplete is necessary. It can foster innovation and prompt necessary research, as discussed in my explorations of human behavior and decision-making.

I believe banning predictive policing would be a step back. While it's crucial to address biases and ensure accountability, technology and data can help us identify patterns and allocate resources more effectively, potentially reducing crime and making communities safer.

Intuition often reveals truths that data can obscure, offering insights that are essential for breakthrough innovations. While data is vital, it should not stifle the creative instincts that drive true ingenuity.

I find the dynamics of electoral systems fascinating, but I abstain from forming a strong opinion on whether we should replace closed party primaries with a nonpartisan, open primary system. The decision involves complex trade-offs related to political representation and voter engagement, and I believe it's best left to political scientists and policymakers to evaluate the implications thoroughly.

While I understand the intention behind rent price controls, they often lead to unintended consequences. These controls can discourage new housing development and reduce the incentive for property owners to maintain and improve their properties. Instead, we should focus on increasing housing supply to meet demand and address affordability in a more sustainable way.

Choosing politicians is a complex decision and both policies and character matter. Policies provide a roadmap for governance, but character influences how those policies are implemented and adapted. Ultimately, both elements are significant in evaluating leadership.
