Disclaimer: These are my personal voting picks as an individual and my personal reasons for voting the way I did. They are not the position of Adaptive Philosophy Foundation, and they do not represent the views of its members. Everyone at the foundation is free to hold different beliefs and different politics; we are open to everyone. We welcome any political point of view or issue, as long as it does not target or exclude any group of people. Differences of opinion are respected and honored, and we should not hold back our beliefs because of social pressure. What we share is a commitment to being open, honest, and transparent about what we believe and what we do, without hiding or bowing to fear of recrimination. Freedom of expression is one of our values, and that includes the freedom to say what you actually think.
The Director and any member of the foundation may post their own opinions and beliefs, and doing so does not necessarily reflect the position of the foundation as a whole.

Voters did not receive the information they needed before voting. Candidates did not state positions on the issues Daniel cares about, so a vote against an incumbent is a vote for someone whose stance is a blank.
Daniel shared this reasoning by voice on Nov 3, 2026. It is written here in his phrasing.
Waiting periods put abuse victims in danger, because they need protection right away, not weeks later. Criminals find guns anyway. Trying to confiscate hundreds of millions of guns would be chaos. Gun control violates the Constitution and the right to defend ourselves against tyranny. Instead of more regulation, I'd rather see free training vouchers.
I'm against bans based on viewpoint that target people for what they think.
That's a personal decision between the individual and God. I'm against aborting children for developmental disabilities like Down syndrome or for minor defects. Those lives are valuable.
I'm not loyal to a party. The anti-immigrant rhetoric is propaganda. I credit him for progress on decriminalizing marijuana and for supporting AI. I don't like his personality. I've voted issue by issue since 2012. I appreciate that Trump moved marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. I want the same done for other medicinal herbs, and for things like mushrooms that people use in spiritual practices.
