Incentives are a different kind of thinking than security vulnerabilities.

I think they can’t grok the subjective value foundation because they are so accustomed to objective systems.

Why is the most productive competitive and fast advancing economy in the world governed by a poliburo that is composed of a majority of Engineers?

Because you don't understand economics and think free markets are all that are required for a good economy- wrong - good government is also essential.

The worlds post industrial economy infrastructure is being built by China- with its politburo composed of mostly trained Engineers.

Libertarians do not understand economics.

Ummm so fun fact "most productive competitive and fast advancing economy" isnt a factual statement its just an opinion. There are no metrics that are scientifically sound for a statement like that. Also, when your country has a billion people, and your economy is so, so, so small and behind proportionally to other countries, increasing your GDP or reaching levels that regular countries across the world have would naturally make the economy more productive, competitive, etc., because the huge population number naturally pulls everything up.

Your own statement is an own goal because it's like last year the best currency in the world, whose value increased the most, was the Russian Ruble, and it wasn't like their economy was growing; rather, it was internal interest rate pressure. South Sudan had the best-performing GDP percentage growth, with the numbers ranging from 24-44% increase, and it isn't like that country is experiencing any sort of boon. The same can be said for North Korea, which over the last 3 years has had one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, but that doesn't mean they are actually doing anything that would drive people to want to move there for a better life; rather, they are just improving from the absolute bottom of the bin.

All you have to observe is who's trying to move where. The purpose of an economy isn't to make large quantities of stuff. The purpose is to improve quality of life, which is a much more complex and inherently subjective thing that central planners are hopeless at producing.

No one is trying to move to North Korea and far more Chinese people would live abroad (if other countries would let them) than the number of people who would move to China (if China would let them).

Of course, on net people are still trying to move to America from just about everywhere in the world at greater rates than Americans are trying to move anywhere else.

Demonstrating your inability to engage in a reasoned contest of ideas because your ideas are indefensible nonsense in such a context.

Stay in your circle jerking echo chamber of delusion because you can't deal with real the world and reasoned dialogue.
