If the potential of a startup is proportionate to the size times the incompetence of its competitors, the most promising startup of all would be one that competed with national governments. It's not impossible; this is what cryptocurrencies do.

Ok. But central to your argument is that NASA, in this example, is massively incompetent. I'm no astrologer but that seems like a wild mischaracterization. I'd also argue that space exploration is but a fraction of what they do.
It probably is a mischaracterization, but it's yours, not mine. Federal agencies, however competent, do not act alone. Big budget projects inevitably involve Congress as well, and the combination is usually a shitshow.

Shall we see the homeless poverty in San Fransisco disappear thanks to a gov-killer stealth startup? Also there are competent governments like in Scandinavia.

Scandinavian countries are the size of US cities. Need to compare US federal agencies with EU agencies.

Your initial tweet literally said governments represent the height of incompetence. If you actually meant that the funding mechanism for large government projects - Congress, as you noted - is currently a disaster, well that's a much narrower criticism and one I agree with!

Saw you deleted the last reply so thank you. Honestly, appreciate the debate. We disagree, it happens!
