     @augustus instantaneous communication should make the functional government paradigm actually viable. it will be one where every department is assigned only a single quantifiable task and is forbidden to cause side effects.

     institutions are good for coordinating to solve problems, division of labour etc. but if they become too abstract or overreaching then things can get real fucked real fast. the best military in the world is the worst military in the world if it's controlled by someone that doesn't know how to use it. and breaking everything down doesn't need to be a bad thing or an end state if your aim is to build everything back up again.

     i love the phrase "excess of civilisation" i think it captures of lot of problems we're experiencing. systems, institutions build up and up and get a life of their own and often get diverted from their original causes. the violent defensive instinct in man pre-figures the existence of a military institution that supposedly directs those instincts. institutional dysfunction is like societal organ failure. you can take them away and the instincts that build the original institutions will still remain.
