If the Biden administration wants something that will be able to engage in grand and innovative projects in the realm of health but has wrong ideas about how to get that
That sort of depends who you count as the Biden administration. Biden himself wants grand and innovative projects in the realm of health. On the other hand you have the NIH and surrouding players wanting more NIH funding and enough political power to get Biden to chose the structure he chose. When I say “pretends” I’m counting the people with the power to set the structure inside the Biden administration.
by politically-charged emotions, whether positive (“ha, nice to see someone seeing the Biden administration for the bullshitters they are”) or negative (“why is this guy posting a political attack piece on LW under the guise of a question?”).
There are two levels here. One level is caring about US party politics and the other is caring about the infrastructure of intellectual progress and the disfunction of what happens inside the HHS. I find the second much more important. Zvi writes nearly every week strongly worded content that attacks what happens inside the HHS. Being opinionated about the HHS is part of normal LW discourse.
In this particular instance Biden plays more of a role then for the usual HHS issues but just because Biden touches the issue more, I don’t think that’s a reason to use less opinionated wording.
Anyone getting mind-killed by the party politics is not going to be able to think well about the issue of what happens inside the HHS no matter how I word the question.
