I thought we did reply to it. My reply was basically that such a managed
evolution will have unintended consequences that will likely be worse than the
problem it's trying to solve. Solutions to problems like this should be, IMO,

Glen,
A Bleeding Heart Liberal [hereafter, BHL], such as myself, believes that there
is something to be valued in that which we collectively intend. So, it's good
when we get together, make a plan, and try to execute it. We BLH's stipulate
that there are perils in such collective action, that

Thanks for the medpagetoday link... I have only obliquely followed the
falderal generated from this stage show without realizing anything much
about the original event (the "press conference" by these folks)...

It's kinda weird. I feel like you didn't read a word I wrote. What you're
calling "collective action" is NOT collective action. It is abstraction of some
objective into an individual organization, like a government agency,

Hi, Eric,
Thanks for laying this out. I think some of it’s wrong, but it’s clear and
provocative. I apologize to non-academics on the list for my focus on
academia. I suppose one might argue that the best thing that might happen to

I haven't been able to retrieve the reference but I recently read/heard
something about the fact that post-feudal economic/political
organizations inherited the paradigm of managing scale and complexity

Yes! My mind is, at the moment, polluted with modal logic, which will probably
corrupt what I'm about to write. In my ignorance, I'll call the Hayekian
principle: that the *imposition of engineered controllers on open systems* will
bias the evolution of the system toward undesirable outcomes. Wh
