I often find political discussions to be immensely tiresome and confusing. I do not know enough about any issue to reach any conclusion about anything. I do not know the best answer to any of the divisive questions of how society ought to be governed. Seemingly intelligent and reasonable people make compelling cases for opposite things, and it is rarely obvious who is right. Perhaps if I spent a long time researching the facts, I could discover the correct positions on all the controversial issues, but how would that help anyone? My vote is not worth more than anyone else’s, and trying to convince other people, particularly those inclined to disagree, of what I have learned would be at least as difficult as learning it in the first place. I do not care about any political issue enough to spend so much time and effort convincing people. However, there is one important thing which seems so obvious that it seems like I should be able convince people of it by just pointing out some simple and uncontroversial facts
