The staus quo appears to be getting laws passed because they have positive sounding names such as “The PATRIOT Act” and that the people suggesting the laws made the correct choice of teams red or blue.
I didn’t want to learn psychology because I didn’t want to lose the magic of not knowing how my mind works. Now I’m learning it to stop people — myself and others — from deluding me. I’m a neural network too, just an organic one rather than a silicon one.
PATRIOT ACT passed because the authoritarians in government liked it giving them power. The name was just butter to make it easier to force down Americans' throats.
That’s who wrote it. The people who passed it could neither like nor dislike it, because they are on record saying they don’t read bills as that would “slow down the legislative process”.
