I wish we had a political version of Mr. Rogers. We need better role models for how to talk about politics in ways that are measured, reasonable, and respectful.
What if, for instance, we used software systems engineering as model and thought about political systems in terms of high-availability, reliability, and security? Too-big-to-fail can be thought of as a Single Point of Failure, a system attribute we know works against availability and security. We might further think of corruption as an attack on the system, and hence, plan mechanisms to minimize the "blast radius". And so on.
Other models might work too, for example, physics. My point is that the current model of political discourse is weirdly self-limiting. Something very odd seems to happen as soon as one adopts it. It's as if people immediately forget the knowledge they have outside politics. I have seen this many times in the political writing of otherwise very intelligent scientists and engineers--their technical ideas are creative and rigorous but their political ideas banal and trite.
