What would the enlightenment look like if it took game theory into account? That's what I want to build.
It's not defeatist - it's acknowledging the game theory. The Institute of Externalities doesn't capture the gains / take the losses so it will over time drift into the control of men who will use its rulings to capture gains of both prestige and money but primarily prestige.

>...it *will* drift into the control of men... Assuming that no possible institutional design might ever overcome the perverse incentives of the few, seems defeatist to me.

Designing an aircraft with gravity in mind isn't defeatist. Designing institutions without considering incentives is like calling noticing gravity "defeatist".
