your response contains some very valid points around the dynamics of groups with bad reputations. You point out real negative consequences. But you misidentify the group being criticized. it's not euro bureaucrats. it's literal morons who take ownership and responsibility over things they don't understand well enough to even surround themselves with advisors who know what they're talking about. I've seen this attitude from many very wealthy people, a willingness, a bravado even, to be ignorant about what they do for a living, e.g. I met a dude who told me had a software business, but he didn't even know what programing language his own property was written in. what really sets me off is their unwillingness to find out. (oh, and that this are the kind of people at the top of our society)
