Independente political comment commissions:
Congress and government discussions are often demagogical, fallacious, and not evidence-based.
We can combat the issue with independent commissions for political comment. There could be a journalistic commission commenting on the veracity of supposed facts. There could be a scientific commission commenting on scientific evidence. There could be a philosophical commission commenting on rationality and ethics matters.
Then politicians would need intellectual honesty, rationality, and truth when discussing.
Those comment commissions could be either public with administrative independence or private.
In any case, these discussion changes push for better choices and a more informed society.
