Does loyalty give you enough talent?
- Yoric 2y agoI don't think that the current administration favors talent all that much. In fact, aren't they attempting to get rid of many of the civil servants to replace them with magical LLMs?
- BoredPositron 2y agoIf the money is right? I guess we will see a flood of „I am not interested in politics“ people like in every other oligarchy spring up in the US.
- vkou 2y agoAutocrats rarely value talent over loyalty. Look at the qualifications of the Oberfuhrer appointed as secretary of defense the other day for an example (With a 51/50 split because of 3 Republicans voting no - precisely the amount that is completely meaningless. His predecessor was appointed 91/2.) Your mistake is assuming that good governance is a goal of the current administration, and anyone who only voted for it because of $3.50 eggs will be in for a rude surprise. And I will have not a drop of sympathy for them - they are adults who should have known better. None of this is a surprise.

- lazide 2y agotalent/competence gets in the way of loyalty more often than not - much easier to do what you are told when you don’t know what to do anyway.
