Separation of powers limiting govt. is a lie: cooperation, redundancy and obfuscation combine to make it more powerful than ever.

Separation of powers = “legs that can run now.”

Unpopular take: monarchs have better incentive alignment than democracies.
Why?
Their legacy is their children's inheritance.
They think in generations, not election cycles.
Our democracy has leaders who think in quarters and produces citizens who can't think past next month.

We traded long-term vision for short-term wins. 
We need structures that reward long-term thinking again. What do you think that looks like?
