A great tragedy of the past 50 years is how successful the `regulation==bad` propaganda has been at convincing engineer-entrepreneurs to shut off their brains when it comes to the government.

So many of these SV entrepreneurs are great at designing systems and processes, and great at finding creative solutions to complex problems.

If we all thought of `designing great regulation` as something to aspire to, then we'd see a bunch of interesting HN discussions around the details of new policy, predictions around their effects, etc.

Instead you get these extremely shallow articles that read like a sullen teenager complaining about how they didn't get what they wanted and a comment section discussing whether or not `regulations==bad`.

I'm dying to find a community of engineers who have good-faith, informed discussions about policy. If anyone knows of such a group or place, please let me know.
