That chance also increases with them being in politics.

That chance also increases when they are part of a committee.

That chance also increases when the ‘adversaries’ are tech-moguls trying to push for their version of utopia.

Ultimately, I’m not sure we can realistically accuse most political dinosaurs of just passing time for a couple of decades.

you expect them to be experienced in things that are your priority, but instead they are experienced in things that are their priorities, like corruption, political games to keep being in their comfy seats etc.
I don't expect them to be experienced in anything remotely related to my current life and work, instead I believe that corruption, political games, comfy seats, backdeals are how things are done today at a human level. Is it good? I don't think so. Can we just uplift this with technology and call it a day? I also don't think so.
