You do seem to be implying via your assumption that bureaucracy is so bad that a world like yours wouldn’t have bureaucracy at all because it’s so inefficient and misaligned, so the assumption I was making is that the Wentworld equilibrium would be obviously better than real life equilibriums:
Like, in a world where the median person is John Wentworth (“Wentworld”), I’m pretty sure there just aren’t large organizations of the sort our world has. Nobody would ever build such an organization, because they’re so obviously wildly inefficient and misaligned. And even if somebody tried, everyone would demand prohibitively high prices to work either for the large organization or with it, since it’s just so deeply unpleasant to interface with. Nobody would buy anything sold by such an organization, or vote for such an organization to continue to exist, because the organization as an entity is so obviously both incompetent and untrustworthy. So how on Earth (as opposed to Wentworld) are large organizations stable?
