Comment on Is Greed Stupid?

It just hit me that I may have misinterpreted "Politics is the mindkiller". What I got from it is that "politics are often a mindkiller, but they don't have to be". Maybe that's wrong. Maybe there's something sort of inherent about politics that make them too difficult to think rationally about.

I'm skeptical that that's true though. But it just hit me how anti-politics LW is, and this community seems pretty smart, so I'm sure there are things about that that I don't understand. So forgive me if this is a stupid question... but why the avoidance of politics?

You mix two topics.

I didn't mean to. I was using the political topic as an example of greed. I didn't mean for it to be a focus of the post.
