“But they are only too human - with all the frailties and defects which accompany that”. Centralised, bloated bureaucracies/technocracies led by socio / psychopaths always collapse / implode, unfortunately at the cost of a great many relatively innocent and humble lives. I fear that your hopes of making a gradual improvement to the “machine” are vain. I wish I could believe they weren’t and I appreciate your efforts, but I really don’t see how we get from here to those sunlit lowlands without a catastrophic collapse of the current system. The engine is already racing and about to blow its gaskets. I fear for the future of my children and grandchildren - the only solution (for those who have the means) is to retreat to some relatively safe place and hope the deluge doesn’t reach you.
