“If Enlightenment thinkers and Hayek are correct, then the government’s projection of power intended to achieve order will crowd out and potentially destroy emergent orders. In this case, what are presumed to be the means of bringing about order are actually a source of disorder. In addition, the association of order with top-down state control creates a false sense of overconfidence in technocratic solutions, encouraging more, rather than less, government intervention. Failures are not viewed as issues with the abuse of human reason, but rather as failures to plan well enough. … Liberal empires do not stay liberal.” (05/11/26)
