These things you mention are much different than my original post.
- optimizing to get elected
- what the population believes
The democratic process is not really compatible with leaders optimizing for the transcendentals or freedom.
Also, total freedom is incapable of erecting a civilization where the transcendentals are prioritized correctly. Freedom is powerless against leaders who wish to impose their will on those who wish to be governed by their betters.
