My version of utopia is out of reach as well, but at least I’m realistic about it and the constraints we work with, so I advocate for less government. More government means they never go away, and usually fail miserably, or give a self selecting power hungry group more control.

Govt used to attract higher quality talent before Reagan and others started publicly deriding it and intentionally undermining its resources. Or before Nixon caused a loss of faith.

That said, I’ve met a lot of talented people in the “deep state” of govt working behind the scenes policy jobs. The issue is that creating “good” policy is only one small pt of the process. The real problem is selling it and building consensus around it.
