[ExI] Future: modern government

[neville late]

First, though those at the top of the government tend to be intelligent, the middle and lower layers are staffed with too many dim-witted outdated thinkers and sinecurists. But all we can realistically do is wait for them to die off-- and unfortunately thanks to the very life extension we advocate they are living longer to reach full retirement instead of dying in office, say, of lung cancer as so many smoking bureaucrats did in the past. The solution, then? Early retirement :)

Le Français moderne? While I like modernizing institutions so that they
function with up-to-date techniques and methods, I chuckled in thinking
about how this might affect the core postmodernists' interesting by trying
dribble.
