Contrary to popular belief, particularly prevalent in superficially stable (pre-pandemic) liberal democracies, government is an exercise in engineering and competence—not morality. What COVD-19 has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt is how poorly engineered many governments are—and how easily that can manifest as abject incompetence in the face of a real crisis. This is not because their employees are
immoral (
necessarily ; they may be immoral as well). They do not have the wrong
ideas about how to govern. “Don’t let millions die in a pandemic,” is an idea all would get behind. They have the wrong incentives, responsibilities, capabilities, and
competencies .
And preceding that:
“The division in politics can be summarized as between
+ Embedded, complexity-minded, multiscale/fractal localists (politics as an ecology/complex adaptive system)
+ Abstract one-dimensional universalists & monoculturalists (politics as a top-down engineering project)”
