Went there as a kid, great mint tea. Some of the most inviting people I’ve ever met. Sat with nomads hocking black wool from their herd.

To be fair, i think most people are like this if you take the time to talk to them. However, their tea may be less good.

You see, IQ is on a bell curve and 100 is the median. That means half of people must have an IQ below 100. At some number, the exact number is debatable, higher reasoning ability diminishes.

Who said the position must be political? Under the current usa system, the supreme court is nominated by politicians and decided by politicians. I wouldn’t call it functional currently.
