About Government
Thesis
The Government section analyzes systems, institutions, and power dynamics with structural clarity. This is not political commentary, but systemic analysis - understanding how governments work, how institutions form, and how power moves through systems.
Why it matters
Understanding how governments and institutions actually function - rather than how we wish they would - is essential for civic literacy and effective engagement. By studying the structures, incentives, and patterns that shape governance, we can see beyond surface-level debates to the underlying systems that drive behavior.
