Uplifting in the sense of “It’s clearly actually possible to do better”, terrifying in the sense of “There were thousands or hundreds of thousands of smart people who looked at this problem, many for an entire career, and did not cross the One Competent Executive threshold.”

Also a bit terrifying if one considers “If one really, really believed this was possible on *throws a dart at the board of societal concerns* poverty, would one structure society the way we do.”
