It is kind of puzzling to have an idea torn down but not be told what the tearer would rather replace it

Future is uncertain and I am not wedded to ideological absolutes. I have a good idea of the direction I want to go, but not so much about the place where I would stop.

For example, I want a smaller, weaker government compared to what we currently have, but I don't know how small and weak until we try some experiments and see how they turn out (not that I'm holding my breath). Testing by reality is paramount and I see little use in imagining grand social structures -- that killed enough people already.
