"Long scale planning certainly is a strength of a government, because in theory in means funding can be coerced from citizens and invested into projects that they wouldn't normally choose of their free will via the marketplace -- but they often simply don't invest in good long term projects." As we human beings live in a complex system such as country. The old fashioned "long term planning and executing accordingly" in the long run actually does way more harm. Misallocating resources, killing the possibilities each individual could bring to the system, killing the necessary environment for more diversified individuals to grow up from infants... If taking the similarity to animals' as a spectrum (no offense). A low level trait means things like food needs, shelter to live. A high level trait means the things people created such as art, tech... What I believe may be wrong, but I think as humans, the high level traits are the ultimate things we are looking for. Bringing in more possibilities and catalyze some of them might be a good way.
