Today I've seen a bank commercial casually promoting "investing in black-owned businesses", and a drug commercial that casually used the phrase "assigned female at birth". This is patently absurd and I will never comply with this Orwellian madness. I will not deny basic facts about the natural world, nor will I dehumanize anyone by reducing them to their skin color. Fuck wokeness. Fuck all these corporations and their sick propaganda.

So Scott Alexander posted about why the CDC and FDA etc can be so easily outperformed by randos (power-seeking and political considerations compete with being right) and used Zvi Mowshowitz as an example. Turns out that aside Zvi is even more cynical. He initially notes the asymmetry of criticism, and being able to build on top of the bodies' work, but his main argument is that the institutions are fundamentally broken environments devoted to self-perpetuation, a bureaucracy optimizing for ass-covering and sucking up to power, and are completely unconnected with making the right decisions. If good policies are pushed through, the ass-covering instinct will be to defend them and pretend that's what they were trying to do all along - but that's a big "if", because such institutions are procedural mazes and lack competitive pressures.
