In the world of politics, we often meet politicians who are known for being good at speaking. They are not only good at talking politics, but also bring deep scientific thinking to the public policy arena. The presence of politicians and how they can be a positive force in government, and can shape sustainable policies.

Politicians often have advantages in analyzing data, understanding complex concepts, and applying scientific research methods. They may have bachelor's, master's, or even doctoral degrees in various disciplines such as economics, law, or political science. Their presence on the political stage brings a different nuance, where the policies proposed are supported by a solid scientific basis.

The benefits of academic thinking in politics

1. Deep Analysis: Politicians tend to be able to carry out in-depth analysis of complex issues. By using scientific understanding to detail policy impacts, identify more effective solutions, and manage risks that may arise
2. Fact-based decision making: politicians make decisions based on existing facts and data, they avoid making decisions based solely on ideology, but instead consider existing empirical evidence
3. Effective Communication: politicians often have good communication skills. They can explain complex ideas in a way that is understandable to the general public, facilitating a more constructive relationship between the government and the people
4. Creative problem solving: solving problems with a creative and innovative approach can help politicians find more effective and sustainable solutions in facing complex challenges.

However, not all politicians with an academic background are considered ideal leaders. Academically minded politicians bring a certain uniqueness and edge to the world of politics. While policies based on science can provide more measurable solutions, it is also important for politicians to remain open to society's views and find the right balance between theory and practice that can be a positive activity in building a smarter and more sustainable society
