    Because good design makes the lives of your people measurably better, thereby... uh... giving you dominance over them? Because you did what they want. Because your power is dependent on popular approval. And that's bad and a dictatorship and undemocratic. Right.

      here in FREEDOM WESTERN DEMOCRACY, we get the people's approval by creating several parties, each in an arms race of getting worse every year, as long as they are 'slightly better' than the other party. Nothing gets the people more involved in democracy than being in constant fear of descent into barbarism😁
