Hey man, I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your content. I'm not committed enough to dredge through the musty old tomes to find this stuff. So it's really nice to have someone to assemble it and strain the likely hundreds of hours of painstaking research into something a layman can digest. It's really helped me course-correct my interpretation of the world. As prior to stumbling into this lecture hall, I was beginning to drift further into the extremes of a self-destructive cycle of scapegoating the less fortunate. I have recently been recommending your channel to anyone who will listen. Unfortunately, only the like-minded with whom I, for the most part, already agree with have been even remotely interested. Though uncommon, they are out there, so I only hope that what little I have contributed is helping to make a difference. Keep up the good work. We need you out here, ya' stallion.
Get a sponsorship for actual performance enhancing drugs, like ibutamoren. Stop messing around with snake oil, turkesterone sponsorships make you look like a shill. If you’re selling people actual PEDs you will probably get less shit for it.
YES. I bought a house this week. The power was on and worked fine. When i went to change the account to my name, the electrical company sent someone out. There was a loose bracket for the Meter and they told us we needed to "repair" it... by repair, they meant screw 2 bolts back in. So long story short. The county wanted me to pull a permit ($300) and wait a week for an inspection, before they would tell the electrical company they could turn the power on. They wanted my wife and newborne to not have power for a week over "needing a permit to confirm 2 bolts were screwed back in" its fking ridiculous how asinine basic things have become over this sht.
It's actually extremely dystopian and depressing. Hopefully you didn't buy a house that is connected to the homeowners association because that's gonna be even worse. No shade towards you it's not your fault. They're honestly the banking cartel.
Precisely they view process and procedures as more important than results. This will be it's downfall for we have learned to use there process an procedures to weaken them.
I took a constitutional law class in 2001 while in college. The professor and the textbook emphasized that the most important thing to understand was that U. S. law started as “principle based” but that from about 1850 it the present it has been transitioning to “procedurally based.” What this means is that the judge in a case is not supposed to really care about the intent of the law, the effectiveness of the law, and the moral foundation of the law. Their job is to make sure that all the rules were followed when creating and enforcing the law. Sadly, everything makes a lot more sense once you understand this, however morally disgusting it is.
@@off6848Despite lacking faith in the supernatural, I can't help but notice that an awful lot of Christs wisdom in the NT is just rejecting and calling out legalism. I generally believe in the spirit of the law, but not the letter of it.
Bureaucracy is expanding because the rules are increasing and employees are getting their childern into the bureaucracy game. Easy money with an easy live of working.

To correctly handle this situation you'd need more administration though, for example someone that goes and checks whether or not the squirrel is well taken care of. What happened looks to me like the result of to little administration..
Don't ask why your country earns 1 trillion in taxes (that's per year, per YEAR !!! ), yet are still in debt, and the problem is the billionaires that made a product that's actually useful and have 1 trillion accumulated over 20 years... that's why you're poor, the state doesn't tax the billionaires, what about that income tax, nothing, that's not why you're poor. (I literally escaped poverty via tax evasion and I don't feel any bad for it)
I'm from Spain. My country is suffering a disaster with hundreds of deaths and thousands of dissapeared people and the goverment doesn't want to mobilize the army and is trying to convince the volunteers that bring food and water to the victims to stay away from the disaster so they can manage the situation. Four d*mn days after the floods and only 500 service men could come to help. Also, the meteorologic agency was aware of what was going to happen 10-12 hours before, but the goverment didn't want to declare the alarm to pass the responsability to the local administration. Everything feels like a joke right now. Sorry for my bad english.
We are experiencing the same problems in western North Carolina. The state and Federal governments were paralyzed and unable to actually rescue anyone for weeks. All of the humanitarian work, rescues, and rebuilding of roads has been almost all done by local people banding together, churches organizing relief, and retired military guys actually digging people out of the debris. The governments are useless, and some of the beurocrats are realizing justvhow bad they look. A LOT of people have also noticed, and it's having a major impact.
About to say, we're experiencing the same thing going on in North Carolina. Fortunately for us, we are a lot more free to prepare and help our neighbors
Same here on Brazil earlier this year when the southest state was hit by historical rains, the State did nothing, but because they are so irresponsible, the people started acting and recuing people from the flooded areas
29:05 Dude, Argentina is THE FIRST victim of the managerial revolution. It was actually a rich country that managed itself into decline. There is a reason why many Western Europeans refer to EU policies as "Argentinification".
No it wasn't Argentina was never rich, it was always a small rancher class and their white collar friends in Buenos Aires, not to mention the genocide of Mapuches isn't some "free" thing when you're being colonized this account is pure liberalism
@@Sneed-pb9cz "Early in the twentieth century, Argentina had one of the ten highest per capita GDP levels globally. It was on par with Canada and Australia, and had surpassed both France and Italy."
@@FozzyBBear That GDP did not reflect the level of development their economy had. There are many articles, papers and videos made about the myth of Argentinian wealth. The truth remains that Argentina was never an industrialized, productive economy.
I’m from Valencia, Spain. This past week we’ve suffered a massive flood, which has already left at least 210 dead and thousands missing. The bureaucracy is so insane that the special rescue units, national police, and army haven’t been able to deploy in the area because of misunderstandings and disputes between the regional and national governments. It’s f***ing unbelievable that we’re at the service of bureaucracy instead of it being at people’s service. And meanwhile, the death toll keeps rising.
That’s the same reason that FEMA has been so slow to mobilize in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, Georgia and Florida in the wake of hurricane Helene. Private nonprofits have done the bulk of humanitarian aid for hurricane victims, and FEMA has been seen to take credit for that it did not do.
Sorry but thats a different problem. Someone has to coordinate efforts for the people on the ground, the gov being unprepared and bad at their job is not the same as the overregulated society.
@@rumble1925 yes and no. If the gov’t is bad at their job, would you want them to have more power or less? If the gov’t has no incentive to be effective, don’t you think their agents will do the bare minimum required to keep their jobs?
@@rumble1925It's the same problem: they (the government) neither do anything themselves nor let others do it. Professional aid isn't arriving effectively, but at the same time, they're restricting volunteer help.
Not for shits and giggles; they did it because their procedures said they should. Bureaucracy rewards people who value procedure above all. I doubt they were motivated by sadism or megalomania. They're just cogs in a machine. Contemptible, banal evil.
I believe this issue started because a neighbor or someone reported that the squirrel had rabies. Squirrels aren't susceptible to rabies. It's actually 0.04% of Squirrels in a 16-year study that got rabies. It's very, very rare.
In a modern American university, 80% - 90% of the staff has nothing to do with educating the paying customer. Half of that staff is soley there because it's required bureaucracy by law. It is that way in hospitals as well. Up to half of some hospitals now days is office space, required by law. It is destroying us. In this modern era, bureaucracies are the shackles in which we've placed upon ourselves.
I have a theory - haven't watched the video yet, maybe it's in there - that this isn't coincidental. And to be clear on that, I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, just ... well. I remember that Marx predicted that capitalism would lead to repeated crisis events in which capital would be destroyed, because the law of capital accumulation must be counterbalanced. But perhaps instead of destroying, we've created so many bs jobs that effort just bleeds away. I can give you another example: software projects. There were some stories from Microsoft that they hired hundrets of extra devs to meet a deadline and it just made things worse. Maybe if we went back to natural consumption (spend time in nature instead of addictive apps and so on) and streamlined production so many people would be out of work it would be a problem.
@@justachannel8600 It makes sense. Think about it from a supply and demand perspective. Imagine if all the people with bs managerial jobs actually had to work in the production line/become business owners and actually produce products. What would happen is that many of our consumable products would be significantly cheaper because there's now a massive supply. What happens then? Cost of living all around plummets, people's money has more purchasing power, and the economy and society is better off. I call it "artificial scarcity"; the government and the culture/society promoting bs jobs via making them enticing via better pay, better QOL, the power that comes with the position, and the status/perception that comes with it. This is being done 100% on purpose. Sure, there's many instances of the domino effect and chance & randomness at play in this; but the overwhelming majority of what we have and will see is being done by cold, calculated people in order to complicate and destroy life for others while lining their own pockets for generations.
@@justachannel8600 I completely agree and hold this to be generally true in today’s society. There are some caveats around the culture of groups of people. You can have groups that are driven by concrete objectives and be very effective. It certainly is much more difficult as group size increases. Two great examples of the different sides of this coin are modern Disney and SpaceX. Both are huge and influential organizations but only one has shown the ability to grow and innovate. It was largely after the original founders of Disney retired and died off that it began to loose it’s original culture and innovation/effectiveness.
I was a coordinator at a local YMCA. Bureaucrats got paid $100k for being a vp and doing next to nothing while I made $38k to run a department. Getting new equipment was like pulling teeth. I left after 6 months

This video had me thinking about my childhood. You're so right boomers have grown up with a really perverted childhood, where neighbors would yell at you for playing in your own yard and I got the CPS called on me when I was at the library by myself. Schools felt like prisons where you couldn't go to the bathroom or walk around the cafeteria without permission. The most free I felt was when my friends and I found an abandoned couch in an empty lot and turned that into our base. Literally trash in the middle of nowhere, was more fun than any parental set up playmates or supervised playgrounds.
Dictatorial systems are like that. The overwhelming fear that others are out to get you, along with maintaining your power, tends to promote infighting and inaction, due to putting yourself at disadvantage. Plus, the dictator is never sure his underlings are loyal, committed, or bought into his plans and machinations China's problem is worse - Xi has total control, killed off all the contenders to him, and attempted to cull out any opposition to him in all other PRC agencies. The military didn't like that, the Foreign Office didn't like that, and the Central Committee didn't either. But, none are strong enough to challenge, and they don't trust each other. Add that to a slacking foreign business climate, lower production to the working class, birthrates bottoming out, the country getting older at a faster rate, rampant fiscal mismanagement , and their economy is showing signs of failure. Not as bad as USSR in the 1990s, but the parallels are there...
They would not have taken over the world. Their soldiers don't believe in the same ideals as the CCP. These types of soldiers abandon their posts and defect asap. The Chinese 100% would tell their soldiers that they would be shot if they retreat. They would be treated like cattle. Major resentments already exist between the ruling class and the working class. Their soldiers like Russians and North Koreans fight with zero heart
Yep, I’m Chinese and I can confirm. China already had precursor conditions for an industrial revolution in the 12th century, but the royal court shut down those workshops because they were too difficult to manage.
The complete inhumanity. If we discovered literal aliens have invaded earth and masqueraded as government employees, it would be a relief over our reality.
Nobody forbids boys to cry. Though one can wonder, why so many see no issue in constant anttempts to make them cry. General policy seems to be: continue bullying and when somebody snaps, complain that he can't "manage emotions/ handle feelings".
I live in France, and the bureaucracy is, and have been, a nightmare for us here. Here, you can't build a shed in your backyard without declaring it and asking for a permit. You can't slaughter your own meat and sell or give it to your neighbor. You can't build a swimming pool without declaring it either. And the government actually deployed drones to periodically take aerial photos and detect undeclared pools using AI. This is not a joke, you can check it out. You have to run through so much red tape to do anything in this country. It's actually depressing. Even a process as simple as getting a new id card can take months.
Same thing here in U.S., but it is our own fault. We allowed this. Most people here don't even go to their town meetings, then can't understand why there is a new tax or rule.

Decades ago I watched a movie called "Brazil" where a handyman was enemy of the state no.1 just because he repaired things as a freelancer bypassing all the paperwork. I found this very weird back in the day and thought maybe the authors shifted a problematic topic into a more satirical context. The longer our society progresses I think they were spot on. Beaurocracy IS the tyrant.
That explains why scientific progress basically stopped everywhere except in frivolous stuff like smart phones and brain interfaces that ensure you only think about work while at work.

I work for an electrical company, 20 years ago we had ourselves and 1 manager handling everything, that 1 manager's role is now done by about 6 managers, all with their own managers to oversee them. Things have never been less efficient or more expensive. Also, my conspiracy theory, these jobs seem to have been made up just to get women in the company as they are and have always been staffed exclusively by women with absolutely zero on the job or technical knowledge. We used to be run by professional engineers who knew how to manage, now we're run by professional managers who don't know a thing about engineering.
As a Frenchie, a woman, and someone who HATES bureaucracy, THANK YOU I used to think my aversion to control came from spending my childhood summers in Corsica where the locals routinely blow up people's houses they don't like. But I think it's deeper than that. My grandfather was a famous French résistant. My childhood crushes were Robin Hood, Zorro and Beau Duke. I never 'tried' to be rebellious, I just can't breathe if there are too many rules. I don't understand how people can I moved to Thailand - which is technically not very democratic - because I feel freer here than anywhere in 1st World countries. Watching Alex O'Connor talk about the absence of free will, I think some of us simply can't bow our heads but that we're a very small minority. So I keep running to places where the pressure is light.

Bureaucracy is the main reason housing is so expensive. It the last 5 years especially, the little bullshit regulations have gotten out of control. It cost twice as much and takes 3 times as long to build things as it should. We put a small addition on my grandparents house last year so they could move their bedroom downstairs. On the foundation, we literally had to stop every 4th row of bricks and wait a week for an inspector. There was a lot more in between, but once it was done, they wanted to pressure test a house that was originally built in the 40s.
Right before I retired from the US Army, I read an article that we were assigned about 2,100 hours of online training annually even though there are 2000 working hours in a year.
@@Fukkatsu-ux7gj 50 working weeks per year times 40 working hours per week is 2000 hours. However, yes Soldiers can work well over 40 hours per week but I think overworked for online training is silly.
Yes! I have been in construction for 15 years. Can't do work the right way. The way you know will absolutely work and be super effective and not cost a billion dollars and take years. Nope they need to insert about 50 layers of people between something being built.
In my area, on average 1/4 of the cost of a new build goes to the city for permits and inspections. They also just introduced a new rule that builders and trades aren't allowed to call the inspectors on the phone directly, all communication has to go through the city office. No more are we allowed to call them up and say "Hey, we're ready early, can you come out here any sooner?" It's ridiculous
before watching, yes, I have 2 pre apprentice courses and an I.T certificate under my belt and I can't find any work, when I tried to play catch up by getting a forklift ticket I failed because of questions like "what should you do when a workplace is dark" with which I answered "turn the lights on" which you could infer that I understood the issue and methods to address it, but no I didn't use 2 keywords of "adequate lighting" I literally answered it with a different approach and I failed that question, and there were at least a dozen questions like that the kicker is I passed the practical exam, I did everything right where it counted and I still failed not because I was inept but because of arbitrary questions
Your problem is you don't know anyone. I am a Navy IT my colleagues will leave my boat with a clearance, BSCIA and 15 certs and struggle to get a job.

I am a British millennial. The main problem here is a confluence of interests between the judiciary and the quangocracy (privatised government bureaucracies, 'experts' and commissions). Both of which are staunchly Left and hate Britain. It does not really matter which party is in power, for they are essentially the same fabric cut to different shapes. It was Tony Blair who began the systematic trashing of our ancient constitution.
Bureaucracy is only good at 2 things, making processes that should be fast and efficient take forever, and make sure those same processes cost way more than they ever should. Proponents of this type of institution always sell it with arguments like "It will ensure a higher standard!" and "This is for public safety!" but it never does either of these 2 things. Its a reliable indicator of decline and government bloat no matter what era you look at.
This is the exact reason I left the financial service industry and the insurance industry, the bureaucracy was just too much and destroyed the whole field.
Well, really, implementing more rules and safety rails *does* make things "safer", typically... but at what cost is the question. If we only allowed 10mph speed limits would traffic deaths go down? Yes. But the cost to the rest of life will be too high.
My issues isn't the one's that have something to do with Safety, those make sense to me. It is the Social Engineering one's that bother me, so many of those exist in building codes! Example I had to deal with: I can not put a second kitchen into my house, to bring in more family, without also putting in two additional Garages. This rule comes from 1980 regulations trying to create a certain type of suburb, keep out the riff raff sort of thing. We are not talking Home Owner Associations either, but Building Codes found all up and down California to this day....
This is why you hire inspectors, not bureaucrats. The inspectors don't get in the way of work being done, and as long as it's up to code, nobody cares.

Similar thing happens with the Turkish military. Even if a soldier sees an armed PKK member/convoy they can't open fire unless PKK fires first. Imagine having to be blown up first in order to get in a firefight, and your opponent KNOWS this so they'll never take the first shot unless they're sure they're heavily outnumbering outgunning and flanking you. Governments are a joke in this century.

I think a fundamental error people make about the concept of bureaucracy is that they believe it exists to accomplish something. Bureaucracy exists to prevent work, not to complete work. In some regards, we want to accept a known inefficiency for some other reason. We are cool with stopping work if that work means dumping millions of gallons of waste into a river. However, when we do not regard bureaucracy as an inherent obstacle, something to be disdained or fought, then we end up where we are now - procedure trumping outcome.
I want to push back slightly… the bureaucracy does want to get things done but they end up so risk averse that they freeze in place. That is where we are today. They also end up with becoming self serving and only going forward to implement their own plan.
@ you have to ask what “things” the bureaucracy gets done. If those things are permits, inspections, and records then each of those exists to delay actual wealth generation

I'm currently in Japan and the bureaucracy has taken over everything here. The smallest thing requires an insane amount of paperwork and procedural nonsense. I'm leaving this dystopia next year for Singapore. (Japan is a great place to visit, but not stay.)
Singapore has an even more ‘effective’ bureaucracy. Not sure how that works for you, but I do wish you the best. To be more exact, the bureaucracy in Japan is less obtrusive if you are Japanese.
@ Its not about empathy. Its about cultural enforced kindness. Its about people being a**holes with the façade of kindness which is also a part of political correctness.
I see that on Reddit too much too. They talk like personal comfort is the most important thing. They don't want true kindness but want governments forcing people to be "kind." A government's job is never to coddle feelings, only to keep the society secure and stable
Bureaucracy and corruption go hand in hand. When a department is paid a wage to address an issue, they have every incentive to either not fix the problem, or make the problem worse.
It would be called corrupiton if it was ever designed to be anything but. They function as they were designed and built. Any bureaucracy created to solve a problem has every incentive to inflame that problem without bound.

Its hard to build houses in the UK due to becaucracy. Green belt, ecology emphasis and extreme standards have made planning permisson and buildintg costs unpermisable driving up house costs to the point of civilisational crisis
TBH, I have a hard time considering a place "civilized" when they can't build adequate housing for their population. "Oh they're homeless because they're poor" - "Have you tried building smaller housing in greater density, to cut costs?" - "No because nobody should have to live like that" - "Nobody should have to live on the streets either." - "Yes and that's why we need to build better housing." - "Cool. Raise taxes and build then?" - "No, we can't do that." It's an endless merry-go-round of excuses for why we can't house our own citizens, then they wonder why people go to "Fine, let's deport anyone that's not a citizen then to free up additional housing." I mean, it's the only option left...

Dammit rudgar I was just watching TH-cam shorts now I have to learn again😂😂 I sit around and I wait on your videos to come about. It is the highlight of my week usually.
Listening to this video makes me think about the Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's critique of the modern world, industrialism, and "the machine". The managerial ring of power of power's sake, the machine of "progress" that lives to feed itself. Tolkien makes me contemplate how our culture has little faith in things that grow naturally, whether that is free markets, or simply people ruling themselves. Thanks for the very cutting video/observation!
I appreciate how Rudyard reminds us that one needn’t possess a degree to have knowledge and opinions that matter. One merely needs to read…incessantly. Appreciate your videos, man.
Yes it is. I'm in the process of resigning from a job in order to take a lower-paying job where I will work harder, JUST to be able to get away from the soul-crushing mental anguish of feeling like part of the administrative, bureaucratic state. We have to live off vibes and teamwork instead of materialism and money-chasing, because the material isn't as real to us as spaciotemporal experience. And money, of course, is fake promises endorsed by some faraway soulless entity.
I didn't get to finish both of your autobiographies but wanted to say that it comforted me greatly to know so much the pain in this world is a shared experience. I'll pray for you Rudyard and I hope you stay strong to keep your work going.
Urban environments naturally promote social alienation. The internet came around the 80s or 90s, but the beurocarcy had already expanded enough to control nearly everything by then (just think of the media as an obvious example).
13:20 as someone from Spain, we did seem to go downhill when we changed dynasties to the Bourbons, its been Ls ever since. And your next phrase represents us very well. We went from what you could call divine creativity to worshipping protocol avobe all, here its all about doing things ''the proper way'' wich often means doing them by the book, no more no less, anything else is never encouraged. Here in Spain we actually have some of the longest work days in Europe, but we are far from the most productive workers. Why? Because its all about procedure, not results. My father worked in an office for some time before i was born, computers were new but he was lucky to have had good training in mechanography (writting with a keyboard), so he could do a days work in way less time just because he could type very fast. However he was told he would lose his job if he went home before time, so he worked for an hour and had to waste the rest of the day going for a coffee and back to the chair and so on and so forth. Nowadays, thats just your avarage job, you clock in, and then spend half the time relaxing, you get an okay amount done, and you chill. Is this because we are lazy? not really, we are as good as any european at meeting our goals, its just that our goals are being the ''hardest worker'' aka spending alot of time at work, not being the mot productive. You measure your merit by how long you worked or how hard it was, not how much you produced or the quality of it, instead of work hard or work smart its work hard or be seen as lazy
The solution to this is Localism: move the decisions to the local level (city, neighborhood, etc) as much as possible. Local governments will get bloated too but then they fail as people move out. It’s ok if this happens at the local and state level but if it reaches the federal level then the country as a whole needs to fail for a reset
Such a system is easily conquered by anyone with an army (e.g. Afghanistan, Mexico, pre-Germany Germany, precolonial colonies), and there are issues with compatibility (e.g. village A uses A-type railroads, village B uses B-type railroads). Economies of scale also state that having one central government with one set of anything is more efficient than small local sets of anythings. Essentially, you need a good centralized authority that discourages bad centralized authorities to invade, and we have decided that the good model is based on democracy.
@GhostSamaritan most of the compatability naturally works itself out over time quickly. There is (or was until recently) no government mandate that tech companies have to use USB or lightning cables or other kinds of cables, yet companies across the world all decided to use that USB standard because it was proven to be the best/most practical at the time. The centralized authority is by far the greater problem to solve. You do need a centralized authority. That doesn't mean we have to give the central authority control over everything. Whether or not guns or 'getting rid of babies' are allowed can be left to the local area to decide, and it wouldn't cause the country to be easily invaded by an outside power.
Even during the Great Depression people had the ability to build their own little shack (if they had the skills & were willing to put in the labor) those people at least had the option to be adaptive & resourceful to make themselves a place to sleep. Sure the great depression was awful but at least poor people had the ability to be creative and adaptive in order to get by. Nowadays people do not have those options. In fact people are Restricted from doing anything like that (even if you have the skills) and are willing to do it. It's still not allowed. My point is, The People who are stuck struggling with poverty NEED options. Right now so many aspects of our society is so restrictive. Certain options are basically locked behind a pay wall.. We could achieve so much more than this. We are letting a lot of our potential go to waste.. I hope things can change. I hope we can prove how adaptive we are capable of being. We just need our system to adapt as well.
I'm not even handy, but if faced with the choice of spending 30 years wageslaving to pay a mortgage or building my own home how I see fit, I'd rather build my own house. Unfortunately due to bureaucrats that option was taken from me. My ancestors lived in stone cottages. If I built one the state would rip it from my hands and bulldoze it. I am forced into wageslavery due to bureaucrats.

YES. I bought a house this week. The power was on and worked fine. When i went to change the account to my name, the electrical company sent someone out. There was a loose bracket for the Meter and they told us we needed to "repair" it... by repair, they meant screw 2 bolts back in. So long story short. The county wanted me to pull a permit ($300) and wait a week for an inspection, before they would tell the electrical company they could turn the power on. They wanted my wife and newborne to not have power for a week over "needing a permit to confirm 2 bolts were screwed back in" its fking ridiculous how asinine basic things have become over this sht.

You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing.

Precisely they view process and procedures as more important than results. This will be it's downfall for we have learned to use there process an procedures to weaken them.
I took a constitutional law class in 2001 while in college.
The professor and the textbook emphasized that the most important thing to understand was that U. S. law started as “principle based” but that from about 1850 it the present it has been transitioning to “procedurally based.”
What this means is that the judge in a case is not supposed to really care about the intent of the law, the effectiveness of the law, and the moral foundation of the law. Their job is to make sure that all the rules were followed when creating and enforcing the law.
Sadly, everything makes a lot more sense once you understand this, however morally disgusting it is.

Four d*mn days after the floods and only 500 service men could come to help. Also, the meteorologic agency was aware of what was going to happen 10-12 hours before, but the goverment didn't want to declare the alarm to pass the responsability to the local administration. Everything feels like a joke right now. Sorry for my bad english.
We are experiencing the same problems in western North Carolina. The state and Federal governments were paralyzed and unable to actually rescue anyone for weeks. All of the humanitarian work, rescues, and rebuilding of roads has been almost all done by local people banding together, churches organizing relief, and retired military guys actually digging people out of the debris. The governments are useless, and some of the beurocrats are realizing justvhow bad they look. A LOT of people have also noticed, and it's having a major impact.

I’m from Valencia, Spain. This past week we’ve suffered a massive flood, which has already left at least 210 dead and thousands missing. The bureaucracy is so insane that the special rescue units, national police, and army haven’t been able to deploy in the area because of misunderstandings and disputes between the regional and national governments. It’s f***ing unbelievable that we’re at the service of bureaucracy instead of it being at people’s service. And meanwhile, the death toll keeps rising.
That’s the same reason that FEMA has been so slow to mobilize in Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, Georgia and Florida in the wake of hurricane Helene.
Private nonprofits have done the bulk of humanitarian aid for hurricane victims, and FEMA has been seen to take credit for that it did not do.

I believe this issue started because a neighbor or someone reported that the squirrel had rabies. Squirrels aren't susceptible to rabies. It's actually 0.04% of Squirrels in a 16-year study that got rabies. It's very, very rare.
In a modern American university, 80% - 90% of the staff has nothing to do with educating the paying customer. Half of that staff is soley there because it's required bureaucracy by law. It is that way in hospitals as well. Up to half of some hospitals now days is office space, required by law. It is destroying us. In this modern era, bureaucracies are the shackles in which we've placed upon ourselves.
I have a theory - haven't watched the video yet, maybe it's in there - that this isn't coincidental. And to be clear on that, I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, just ... well. I remember that Marx predicted that capitalism would lead to repeated crisis events in which capital would be destroyed, because the law of capital accumulation must be counterbalanced. But perhaps instead of destroying, we've created so many bs jobs that effort just bleeds away. I can give you another example: software projects. There were some stories from Microsoft that they hired hundrets of extra devs to meet a deadline and it just made things worse. Maybe if we went back to natural consumption (spend time in nature instead of addictive apps and so on) and streamlined production so many people would be out of work it would be a problem.
@@justachannel8600 It makes sense. Think about it from a supply and demand perspective. Imagine if all the people with bs managerial jobs actually had to work in the production line/become business owners and actually produce products. What would happen is that many of our consumable products would be significantly cheaper because there's now a massive supply. What happens then? Cost of living all around plummets, people's money has more purchasing power, and the economy and society is better off. I call it "artificial scarcity"; the government and the culture/society promoting bs jobs via making them enticing via better pay, better QOL, the power that comes with the position, and the status/perception that comes with it. This is being done 100% on purpose. Sure, there's many instances of the domino effect and chance & randomness at play in this; but the overwhelming majority of what we have and will see is being done by cold, calculated people in order to complicate and destroy life for others while lining their own pockets for generations.
@@justachannel8600 I completely agree and hold this to be generally true in today’s society. There are some caveats around the culture of groups of people. You can have groups that are driven by concrete objectives and be very effective. It certainly is much more difficult as group size increases.
Two great examples of the different sides of this coin are modern Disney and SpaceX. Both are huge and influential organizations but only one has shown the ability to grow and innovate. It was largely after the original founders of Disney retired and died off that it began to loose it’s original culture and innovation/effectiveness.

Bureaucracy is the reason China didn't take over the world. They could, but their bureaucracy made them lag behind the West.
Indeed
Dictatorial systems are like that. The overwhelming fear that others are out to get you, along with maintaining your power, tends to promote infighting and inaction, due to putting yourself at disadvantage. Plus, the dictator is never sure his underlings are loyal, committed, or bought into his plans and machinations
China's problem is worse - Xi has total control, killed off all the contenders to him, and attempted to cull out any opposition to him in all other PRC agencies. The military didn't like that, the Foreign Office didn't like that, and the Central Committee didn't either. But, none are strong enough to challenge, and they don't trust each other.
Add that to a slacking foreign business climate, lower production to the working class, birthrates bottoming out, the country getting older at a faster rate, rampant fiscal mismanagement , and their economy is showing signs of failure. Not as bad as USSR in the 1990s, but the parallels are there...

Bureaucracy is the main reason housing is so expensive. It the last 5 years especially, the little bullshit regulations have gotten out of control.
It cost twice as much and takes 3 times as long to build things as it should.
We put a small addition on my grandparents house last year so they could move their bedroom downstairs. On the foundation, we literally had to stop every 4th row of bricks and wait a week for an inspector.
There was a lot more in between, but once it was done, they wanted to pressure test a house that was originally built in the 40s.
Right before I retired from the US Army, I read an article that we were assigned about 2,100 hours of online training annually even though there are 2000 working hours in a year.

Yes! I have been in construction for 15 years. Can't do work the right way. The way you know will absolutely work and be super effective and not cost a billion dollars and take years.
Nope they need to insert about 50 layers of people between something being built.
Man, you're right.
“For safety”
In my area, on average 1/4 of the cost of a new build goes to the city for permits and inspections.
They also just introduced a new rule that builders and trades aren't allowed to call the inspectors on the phone directly, all communication has to go through the city office.
No more are we allowed to call them up and say "Hey, we're ready early, can you come out here any sooner?"

Bureaucracy is only good at 2 things, making processes that should be fast and efficient take forever, and make sure those same processes cost way more than they ever should.
Proponents of this type of institution always sell it with arguments like "It will ensure a higher standard!" and "This is for public safety!" but it never does either of these 2 things.
Its a reliable indicator of decline and government bloat no matter what era you look at.
This is the exact reason I left the financial service industry and the insurance industry, the bureaucracy was just too much and destroyed the whole field.
@Liam-iv7wk honestly, congratulations for recognizing you were being a part of a broken system and getting out. What line of work are you in now?
Well, really, implementing more rules and safety rails *does* make things "safer", typically... but at what cost is the question. If we only allowed 10mph speed limits would traffic deaths go down? Yes. But the cost to the rest of life will be too high.
My issues isn't the one's that have something to do with Safety, those make sense to me.
It is the Social Engineering one's that bother me, so many of those exist in building codes!
Example I had to deal with:
I can not put a second kitchen into my house, to bring in more family, without also putting in two additional Garages. This rule comes from 1980 regulations trying to create a certain type of suburb, keep out the riff raff sort of thing. We are not talking Home Owner Associations either, but Building Codes found all up and down California to this day....
This is why you hire inspectors, not bureaucrats. The inspectors don't get in the way of work being done, and as long as it's up to code, nobody cares.
I feel like most people intuitively understand the issues but you break it down to a level they can explain to others. I appreciate the hard work.

I think a fundamental error people make about the concept of bureaucracy is that they believe it exists to accomplish something. Bureaucracy exists to prevent work, not to complete work. In some regards, we want to accept a known inefficiency for some other reason. We are cool with stopping work if that work means dumping millions of gallons of waste into a river. However, when we do not regard bureaucracy as an inherent obstacle, something to be disdained or fought, then we end up where we are now - procedure trumping outcome.
I want to push back slightly… the bureaucracy does want to get things done but they end up so risk averse that they freeze in place. That is where we are today. They also end up with becoming self serving and only going forward to implement their own plan.
@ you have to ask what “things” the bureaucracy gets done. If those things are permits, inspections, and records then each of those exists to delay actual wealth generation

13:20 as someone from Spain, we did seem to go downhill when we changed dynasties to the Bourbons, its been Ls ever since.
And your next phrase represents us very well. We went from what you could call divine creativity to worshipping protocol avobe all, here its all about doing things ''the proper way'' wich often means doing them by the book, no more no less, anything else is never encouraged.
Here in Spain we actually have some of the longest work days in Europe, but we are far from the most productive workers. Why? Because its all about procedure, not results.
My father worked in an office for some time before i was born, computers were new but he was lucky to have had good training in mechanography (writting with a keyboard), so he could do a days work in way less time just because he could type very fast. However he was told he would lose his job if he went home before time, so he worked for an hour and had to waste the rest of the day going for a coffee and back to the chair and so on and so forth.
Nowadays, thats just your avarage job, you clock in, and then spend half the time relaxing, you get an okay amount done, and you chill. Is this because we are lazy? not really, we are as good as any european at meeting our goals, its just that our goals are being the ''hardest worker'' aka spending alot of time at work, not being the mot productive.
You measure your merit by how long you worked or how hard it was, not how much you produced or the quality of it, instead of work hard or work smart its work hard or be seen as lazy

The solution to this is Localism: move the decisions to the local level (city, neighborhood, etc) as much as possible.
Local governments will get bloated too but then they fail as people move out.

Such a system is easily conquered by anyone with an army (e.g. Afghanistan, Mexico, pre-Germany Germany, precolonial colonies), and there are issues with compatibility (e.g. village A uses A-type railroads, village B uses B-type railroads). Economies of scale also state that having one central government with one set of anything is more efficient than small local sets of anythings. Essentially, you need a good centralized authority that discourages bad centralized authorities to invade, and we have decided that the good model is based on democracy.
@@GhostSamaritan you have a good point ! Thanks for the detailed answer
@GhostSamaritan most of the compatability naturally works itself out over time quickly. There is (or was until recently) no government mandate that tech companies have to use USB or lightning cables or other kinds of cables, yet companies across the world all decided to use that USB standard because it was proven to be the best/most practical at the time.
The centralized authority is by far the greater problem to solve. You do need a centralized authority. That doesn't mean we have to give the central authority control over everything. Whether or not guns or 'getting rid of babies' are allowed can be left to the local area to decide, and it wouldn't cause the country to be easily invaded by an outside power.
@@GhostSamaritan…. That’s why the federal government will still exist and handle things like Defense and Trans-State logistics
Even during the Great Depression people had the ability to build their own little shack (if they had the skills & were willing to put in the labor) those people at least had the option to be adaptive & resourceful to make themselves a place to sleep. Sure the great depression was awful but at least poor people had the ability to be creative and adaptive in order to get by. Nowadays people do not have those options. In fact people are Restricted from doing anything like that (even if you have the skills) and are willing to do it. It's still not allowed. My point is, The People who are stuck struggling with poverty NEED options. Right now so many aspects of our society is so restrictive. Certain options are basically locked behind a pay wall.. We could achieve so much more than this. We are letting a lot of our potential go to waste.. I hope things can change. I hope we can prove how adaptive we are capable of being. We just need our system to adapt as well.
I'm not even handy, but if faced with the choice of spending 30 years wageslaving to pay a mortgage or building my own home how I see fit, I'd rather build my own house.
