I agree. It seems the essence (that I care about) of "bad faith" has something to do with *not* having aspirations to creativity nor competent execution. The question comes, maybe, with respect to how broad/universal you expect your solution to be. I read this article over lunch:
Book Review: The Amazing Brain Cells That Link Mind and Body https://undark.org/2020/01/31/angel-assassin-book-review/ And found the following exemplary statement: > “If we overemphasize the workings of microglia, and the biological mechanisms > by which illnesses of the brain emerge,” Nakazawa writes, “we invite the kind > of biological reductionism that overmedicalizes and belittles the intimate > connection between the mind and the way it gives birth to our human > consciousness.” Coincidentally, I met some political activists (at lunch) pitching the brewery to let them hold a ranked choice voting session where they demonstrated RCV, but absent the political overtones ... with a beer flight. So, the participants would RCV the beers in the flight. Fresh off the warning above about biological reductionism and microgliopathy, I had to ask them the extent to which they thought RCV was a panacea. How much of our political problems will it solve? Etc.
