You're attacking a straw man.

Language is dynamic and cannot be controlled.

Writing needs to be adapted to fit that.

In English, the writing has become detached from the writing to the point where it is not possible to write a word upon hearing it the first time or to pronounce it upon reading it.

This is unnecessary and could be fixed.

Fixed how? By revising the orthography to accurately reflect pronunciation? (If so, whose?) Some English words have major variations in pronunciation in different regions (of the world, or indeed just of England). Should the revised spellings differ between regions?

Yes. That's a normal thing that most languages do every century or so.

Of course you have to compromise between dialects, but that's doable.

You could also start by just removing some of the worst insanities.
