23. Scattered throughout are appeals to finding from my field—the science of science / metascience that point to problems with some of the the existing norms and institutions that undergird academic science. Some of these are taken out of context, others are presented reasonably fairly. But...

24. Essentially, the report cites metascientists as observing that there's might be raccoon in the attic, and then concludes that the best course of action is to burn down the entire house. This is inconsistent with virtually all of the scholarship in this area.

25. We can build a new, better house, the report proposes. We'll have VC principles and markets and agentic AI doing microtransactions on the blockchain, it gushes. But the report offers nothing by way of a plan for how any of this would work. It's just an excuse to get out the flamethrower.

26. In summary? A disastrous and incoherent jumble that might sound good, one paragraph at a time, to a president who is not known for deep thought or a politics major accustomed to judging pitch decks, but falls woefully short as serious thought let alone rigorous planning for a national future.

27. A final aspect that probably deserves mention: the Rufo playbook of kneecapping government institutions, then complaining that they are inefficient and using that as rationale to eliminate them. The majority of things this report identifies as broken are things the Trump administration broke.

It's the same strategy with national parks; defund them until they look like shit and then privatize them. Everything being sold for parts.

“Kneecapping, then complaining about ineffectiveness” as a pretext for dismantlement isn’t only Rufo’s playbook. It’s Russell Vought’s playbook. It’s Grover Norquist’s playbook. They are arsonists. They are like Steve Bannon, a self-styled Leninist. “Some people just want to watch the world burn.”

It's worse than my jumbling, which is staggering to me. This admin not only spouts bullshit, im pretty sure they mainline it. The only advantage I see is this is a great teaching/learning moment.
