If you are serious about any particular problem, ranging from how to fix a dripping faucet or a broken electrical circuit to making gerrymanders constructive, minimizing abortions, or reducing gun deaths, consider adapting a scout (instead of soldier) mindset and explore options based on a cycle of observe => model => apply => predict => implement => observe....
This cycle of variation to selection and back is not only how for example science works (although it too often gets bogged down in doctrine), but also how life on earth has always worked. In other words, it is part of perhaps our oldest constitution, namely that on which life itself continues to adapt and survive.
