    The one child policy was implemented by literal rocket scientists because they were just about the only academics who survived the purges, but sure. Tell me more about pragmatic engineers and their fitness to run an entire country. (Also, the assumption itself is nonsense.)https://twitter.com/MacaesBruno/status/1316723436425707522 …

    America is run by lawyers; China is run by engineers. Engineers are pragmatic. Their key text is the science fiction writer Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem, in which, as in most of his books, survival is everything, and scientists make tough choices https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n20/wang-xiuying/china-after-covid …

        Replying to @fozmeadows

        I remember when John Campbell tried to ram this idea that engineers should run things into our heads. I was an engineer for almost 40 years; let me tell you, engineers as a group can barely make coffee in the morning, let alone decide what to have for lunch.

        Well, if nothing else America has definitely been all about modelling its current government and society off a science fiction writer. I guess we could have just hoped they'd pick somebody other than Orwell.
