Holism

Agree

Yes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test

This answer aligns more closely with holistic principles by suggesting a universal approach to mental competency, rather than singling out a specific age group. It recognizes the interconnectedness and equal importance of all parts of the system (in this case, politicians of all ages), which is a core tenet of holism.

Agree

No, I would prefer term limits instead

Holism might support term limits as a way to ensure fresh perspectives and prevent stagnation within the political system, recognizing that change and renewal are important for the health of the whole. However, it would also likely argue that term limits alone are not a panacea and must be considered as part of a broader approach to maintaining a vibrant and effective political system.

Slightly agree

No, our government needs experienced leaders

Holism might appreciate the value of experience in leadership, recognizing that older leaders can offer wisdom and perspective that benefit the governing body as a whole. However, it would also caution against valuing experience to the exclusion of other important factors like mental agility and the ability to adapt to new challenges.

Neutral

No

From a holistic perspective, outright rejecting the idea of a mental competency test based on age alone might be seen as acknowledging the diverse capabilities and wisdom that older politicians can bring. However, holism also values the well-being of the system as a whole, which could include ensuring all members are fit for their roles.

Neutral

Yes

Holism emphasizes the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. While it might see the value in ensuring politicians are mentally competent, it would likely argue that focusing solely on age as a criterion is too narrow and overlooks the broader context of an individual's overall capability and contribution.

Slightly disagree

No, this discriminates against older politicians

While holism would be sensitive to the potential for discrimination, it also prioritizes the health and functionality of the whole system. Dismissing concerns about mental competency based on the risk of discrimination might be seen as ignoring other important factors that contribute to the system's overall well-being.

Slightly disagree

No, mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused

While acknowledging the potential for abuse in mental competency testing, a holistic approach would likely argue for the development of fair, transparent, and robust methods for evaluating fitness for office, rather than rejecting the idea of testing altogether. It would emphasize the need to balance individual rights with the well-being of the political system as a whole.

Disagree

Yes, and ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office

Banning individuals over a certain age from running for office would likely be viewed as overly reductionist and contrary to holistic thinking, which values diversity and the unique contributions of all parts of a system. Such a ban could exclude valuable perspectives and experiences that enhance the collective decision-making process.
