superb intro from Janan Ganesh:
FT article says: Having transformed the car business with his technical flair and his eye for logistics, the genius from the Bay Area tried the same in Washington. He had a record of supporting a different political party to that of the president who appointed him. But no matter. If the bloated state could adopt the efficient methods of this avant-garde industrialist, all would win.
In the end, Robert McNamara, the Ford man turned Pentagon chief during the Vietnam war, was a tragic failure in government. His name is still a byword for the misapplication of cold reason to the messiness of public life.
Will Elon Musk, in his quest to rationalise the state, do much better?

No, it is not disputed that it is valid - not considering it valid would bring a whole new level of chaos. The question is rather what is meaningful in this context and to what extent should it matter.

Velimir Zivkovic @vzivkovic.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
But then, of course, the question of any 'meaningful' alternative is equally convoluted. I grappled with this when working on the conclusion of investment protection treaties, which are perhaps the best example of the above.

Velimir Zivkovic @vzivkovic.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
It is questionable if states meaningfully consent even now, bearing in mind the mind-boggling complexity of the modern state, let alone of the society. Is it meaningful if an obscure treaty, proposed by 2 people in one of 120 departments gets ratified by a parliament in which no-one read it?
