We have a system that lets legislators manufacture a job specialty for themselves. Out of basically nothing but reactions to serious problems of the past. While it may generally be done in good faith, it still doesn't seem to avoid a tragedy of the commons. We now are building a system so byzantine that nobody wants to operate without a part of their business working to understand public policy. Complexity seems to beget more complexity. While this sort of thing may have "always been done", I sometimes fear that with more tools like machine learning, AI, etc, we are going to just simply compound the rate of complexity growth. And thus we end up with specializations that were completely manufactured. It just seems wasteful.
