      Our problem is that democracy is the best way to choose leaders we've found so far and it doesn't work very well.

      It is not obvious to me how to improve democracy or come up with a better way to choose political leaders.

      You're not at all impressed by Moldbug's argument that the modern joint-stock corporation provides a model for leadership selection?

      Corporations have a serious problem with captive boards chosen by CEOs. Even when board members aren't captive they don't seem to try very hard.

      On the evidence of comparison between high-level business and politics personnel quality, the problem doesn't seem exactly crippling. ...

      Most poorly led companies do not have captive customers. They can lose customers. This selects against (albeit slowly) poor leaders regardless of how each company selects its CEO. By contrast, a government is a monopoly on power. They rarely lose enough citizens to collapse.

      Quite. Hence Moldbug's emphasis on Exit-oriented Patchwork as an international order subjecting states to business-type pressures.

          ... There is literally nothing 'above' customer flight that effectively disciplines businesses. The whole of pol-economy has to learn this lesson eventually, and generalize it without limit.

          Customer flight is very low cost for someone when switching detergent brands or fast food brands. Creating lots of small sovereignties so one can flee to another city is much more expensive by comparison. Plus, if your occupation is concentrated in few places your choices are few
