My theory: The largest part of the civilisational decay around is is simply down to governments employing incompetents. Everything else is just flavouring.https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1002287351509417984 …

Once you start to investigate why government is employing incompetents, and trying to find ways to fix it, of course you see the roots are deep and there is no way out from here.

Ultimately, the question, "how does the government decide who to employ" is the same as "what is the structure of government". It's the one major question. Fixing the "one little thing" means destroying everything and rebuilding.

What NRx really needs is a praxis of corporate governance, with special attention to hostile takeovers and restructuring.

Moldbug's line is that all this already exists and is well-known, but it's not applied to governments because it's not "democratic" or "representative".

If this already exists and it’s well known I would expect corporations to be better at it. Everyone has a story about the time their employer was ineptly restructured. Then you have stories like thishttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44248409 …

You have to take risks to win; private equity makes money doing restructuring in spite of large numbers of failures. I think I wrote a blog post once on how the bulk of the economy is things we don't know exactly how to do.
