    the technocrat doesn't *want* you to have a bad life; he's working all day to maximize the quantities that, as best he can figure, correspond to you having a good life. it's weird to him that you still refuse to be happy. like you're being perverse. sometimes it pisses him off

        fantasy settings could really do a lot more in the way of exploring the sheer, inutterable terror of living under even a well-intentioned, kind-hearted sorceror-king https://twitter.com/beautyisabsurd/status/1160037882951634944 …

        that sounds like it assumes far more internal coherence to bureaucracies than in fact can be.

        great explanation for why anti-liberalism and counterculture/subaltern groups are so intertwined as well — technocrats measure those quantities square at the “average” citizen, for whatever average means in a given society

        no even this. Even the "goodfaith" technocrat is not maximizing your satisfaction most of the times, he is minimizing your biggest risks (or what he perceives them to be).

        Seriously! I'm for making people feel accepted but I don't understand this thing where we're suggesting *people who are clinically defined as having dysfunctional social skills* be put in charge of social rules.
