All radicals should be encouraged to form institutions. Much moral high-ground posturing and insufferable certitude are rooted in not yet having reproduced pre-ideological institutional pathologies that are the root cause of most things they critique on ideological grounds.

One reason this works is a very direct analogy to compiling/testing in programming. An institution is basically the compiled code form of an ideology, that must run in clueless brains without crashing so often it cannot function. The clueless are excellent robots.

Hmm. 2x2: Mediocre vs exceptional. Self-aware vs non-self-aware. MS = sociopath MNS = loser ENS = clueless ES = suicidal, not a stable state

A great trick is operating at two resolutions where you institutionalize into a pristine order at say 75 dpi, but exhibit organic chaos at 300dpi, with 150dpi as transitional resolution. I know only a couple of institutions that pull off this magic trick. Essence of leveling up.

It’s an institution getting into its own OODA loop at a structural level. Like single-called organisms evolving to multicellular and supracellulat resolution being much more orderly than subcellular. I’ve been trying to figure out the playbook for this for years.

Idea: “governance camp” for youths. They build a house. Mon-Tue, they do speeches on human nature. Wed-Fri, organize based on the theory and work on the house. New ideology every week. At summer’s end, there’s a house. And everyone is more fluent, more effective, & a cynic.

I suppose Wed-Fri is not enough time to allow typical institutional dysfunctions to really manifest, but perhaps requiring copious manual labor from these debate team captains will reveal the cracks in the systems a bit faster.
