Up to 7:53 Amy Gallagher is spot on. Precedent Biden merely performatively "revealed" that for the proper left a leader is superfluese, its the committee stupid. This actually has a deep philosophical meaning: A leader as judgement centred is a hole or nominal to the system. The idea being that many complex systems of data metrics and policy projections can do all this work of judging though synthesis of functions. Thus a leader really ought to do nothing except what the committee "says" i.e. what no on says or that which is said by no one. This redundancy elimination though apparent substantive extensional reduction and elimination of judge to rational synthesis, is really just one part of the lefts critique and revision of Western Metaphysics. Here the Critique of a metaphysically unconditioned transcendent subject authority judge actor and responsible agent to the electorate: the apex of the source of answerability for legitimate Critical consent eg democracy. The leader "subject" then has gone the way of the Cartesian subject elimination, truth and everything else. The supposed liberal critics of the left in post war world also critiqued Western metaphysics of a subject and truth, and of course a subject of truth. Though they were inspired by Carnap not Heidegger. I had coffee with a major student of Wittgenstein's who organised a conference in the 1950's to try and get these two traditions to debate this. I think what is poignant now though is the distinction between various Categories of any domain and radical synthetic continuum empiricism of that whole domain. This is for you all to look and think about as it is present within every aspect of all of our lives and is central to all policy. Do some of your own phenomenology. You have to work and judge, not copy down my discoveries and either add mine to your lexicon or oppose them with a different negation lexicon..

To be fair, i think one reason why politicians just repeat the products of the committee's historical scrabble cut ups, is that journalist are just in an agenda attack of them and their policy that is also a question derived from scrabble too. its Kant v Hegel, if the journalist is using scrabble derived questions then the politician must do the same to survive. The up side for the powerful is people switch off and then they can do what they want. I think i was a person of interest to the far Left in the 1980's because i liked to argue about politics, so there's an in for them, but mostly my knowledge of Nuclear Physics was like knowledge of Social media tech now. Cos they went on and on about CND but knew nothing of the physics or the health effects proper. I'm also part Asian but that was not a useful sales pitch at the time.

26:00 mins Just get a book on philosophical logic empiricism and anti metaphysics, and then study how all the millions of different systems cut up the world in millions of different ways. Then use mass data along with on the ground knowledge from social workers feminist and lefty academics to create or choose an "objective " schema that is most useful to those in real power: the real middle class and there solidarities of self interest and power. you got to throw a few middle class and social workers types under the bus for the subject patients. but who they will be will depend entirely on the internal interests of those middle class eg to get some other middle class persons job. Then get the media to show us lots of foreign countries at war or civil war or economic collapse so we feel blessed and forget and talk about AI football or the weather and economic variables also from chosen "objective" schema for their own ends.
