Reading those positions and this post has now enlightened me by helping me realize that Liberals happen to be right about everything. We know they are right because smarter people tend to favour Liberal policies. It seems remarkable that they are right about everything except maybe censoring racist and sexist speech. I guess even smart humans make a few mistakes on average.
Since our civilization has consistently marched leftward for oh 200 or so years, we need not worry about uFAI. Our whole society is already working as a CEV machine! I guess it is an emergent property of sticking hundreds of millions of human brains together in a structure they don't fully understand.

Upvoted for trolling in an amusing way.
If you read the session on Welfare, you'll find it's pretty not liberal. So a mere liberal mistaken position on welfare + censoring certain views on racism and sexism (if some of those happen to be right) could be damning to civilization. Besides, theocracy and totaliarism are not only alive - take Islamic countries, with their huge populational growth - but coming back in a lot of places, like Venezuela or Turkey.
Now, I guess that some Liberal positions such as favoring Gay Rights and Abortions are the more reasonable shoudn't be really surprising among smart people, and I'm sure they're among the majority here, too.
