I had strong priors against LLMs for medicine. There are a lot of doctors in my family and I grew up viewing doctors as careful, skilled professionals. I had plenty of bad medical experiences, but I thought it would be hard to do better. Then an LLM found a cure for my 2 decade chronic condition...

Some simple (not easy) ones imo: Remove the ability to organize at the department level, allow to collectively bargain at the sectoral level only, or just ban it similarly to military. Consoldiate agencies: while being a large dept is no guarantee of professionalism, it is a precondition of it.

Govt agency/Paramilitary unit exercises too much autonomy & is insufficiently responsive to orders is not a sui generis problem. Decrease autonomy (remove unions), disband specific units or entire agencies & reconstitute, give responsibilities to organizations you trust more. Not easy, but possible.

It seems likely to me that the reason they keep including this demand is because they know America will agree to it but then be unable to deliver on it, thus giving them (Iran) an excuse to keep the conflict going, which suits them because they are winning it

What I really think is good is widely dispersed decision making power and egalitarian means of information aggregation. This pushes me towards some kinda democratic market socialism since concentrations of power in the hands of capitalists or planning bureaus is bad. It also makes me hate the media.

Hegseth proudly ended the flu vaccine requirement for the military. Following this idiocy, only 40% of new trainees got vaccinated. There’s now a flu outbreak at an AF facility. A new recruit has died, though it is not clear if it was from flu. Now, the flu vaccine is again required there.

That's really what the issue with having extremely opinionated people fuck with what you see on a day-to-day basis. That they're right or wrong doesn't matter here, or that you're convinced or more grounded about your beliefs. The problem is the frame your brain thinks in from constant exposure

Some may think aspects of The Most Dangerous Man are over the top. The fact of the matter is that you can write reality right into a novel these days, and people will believe it is "unrealistic." Past media is more real for them than present reality.
