Tech has undergone a seismic shift over just the past few years while we creaked under covid, accelerating at a quicker pace everyday. Yet our political systems are legacy, defunct and dysfunctional and chronically underprepared to handle the change that is occurring.
I look at my own country (UK), and we still have an antiquated political system, full of grandiose pompous ceremony and old boys clubs, like its still 1806. We elect people like Jacob Rees Mogg to lead us, someone stuck in the 18th century about as out of touch with modern life you can get.
There are no grand minds in the one area where we badly need them most.

A country whose capital is loaded with firms figuring out how to make money trading inside a 100ns window, while everyday people struggle for months to transfer ISA assets from one account to another because the banks involved still use snail mail and cheques behind the scenes.
