Dominic Cummings, Johnson's Chief Advisor, is an interesting character. He's been called a genius by Johnson, a dark political manipulator by the media and a career psychopath by Cameron. In this video, we take a look at his blog to find out what Cummings really believes and what his plans are to shape the British political landscape.

I will admit that I sympathise/agree with his stated goals. Despite this I think he either doesn’t actually care about his stated goals or he has a bad case of the ends justifying the means. After all how can you claims to want to decentralise political power, while usurping the power to fire anyone he doesn’t agree with. Or claim to promote success while firing the most able Minister in the UK’s government.

Actually, you haven't been paying attention. He replaced Sajid political advisers with experts who will collaborate with the rest of the team. Sajid resigned.

deeply. i guess he believes the ends justified the means, which i can support, but i do not agree with his conclusions drawn from complex systems theory. efficient systems do indeed require lots of experimentation and incentive structures, however to this end it is crucial that we allow humans not to fear this experimentation through high minimum living standards. similarly, decentralization is actually a goal of the EU, recently they even mentioned subsidiarity on tldr, but only where it makes sense-it does not in all cases, level playing field and all that as a precondition to maximizing opportunities for experimentation.

This idea just shows how stupid and not conservative the tory party has become. The idea of german reunification was not one introduced by bismark. Bismarck ensured the creation of a 100% ethnicaö german state with a 100% sustainable insurance system that would later be falsely used as a justification zo create the non sustainable wellfare systems we have today. Btw bismarck was opposed to the idea of fighting (especially) britain and/or russia. I think his assumption of a war between these partys destroying germany and europe wasnt to incorrect. Of it wouldnt have been a ww1 between germany and britain it would have probably ended ik a war between britain and russia.

Two things: 1) I agree with Cummings that too many of our leaders are career politians. Even those who are lawyers by trade (and you NEED at least some lawmakers to know about the structure and theory of law) are mostly unexpierienced in practicing law. And other fields of study or expertise (besides political science obviously) are super rare at the top level of government. I struggle, however, to see how that would be fixed by hitching your wagon to an Eaton trained journalist who had a reputation for polarizing political pieces well before he ever thought about being elected. As you pointed out in the video, Johnson could even be considered a step in the wrong direction as he centralised power even more and relies on science and experts even less. 2) The idea of emergent behaviour and that "risk and reward structure" will basically sort out society by a form of social evolution is not new. It's called "social darwinism" and was the pet theory about the world of a well-known german leader during WWII. Now, that's not to say that the theory is all wrong - Hitler absolutely misinterpreted what it meant, but it IS a cautionary tale about how far and how wrong you can go with it. Hitler's kinda "motto" was: We will wage war againt the world, thus driving conflict. Whoever will come out on top is cleary the better "race" of humans and should therefore reproduce. All he wanted to do (and please don't read this as diminishing his evils!) was to accelerate social evolution by jumping the "risk and reward structure" to be LITERALLY "victory or death" for everyone involved. (He, ofcourse, believed the german people to come out on top. But he also managed to centralise power like no one else, so really it was a "risk or reward structure" for himself - and he failed in the end.) What I'm saying is: Applying theories from other fields to politics is generally a good idea - but they need to be understood and adjusted to fit the field.

Slippery slope nonsense. Evolutionary systems apply to everything, literally everything. They've existed since time immemorial ,from the beginnings of civilizations, whether codified or not, the successful ones tended to prosper the ones that weren't logical/reasonable to their environment didnt. Drawing comparisons to Hitler is ridiculous and it's clear where your beliefs lie. Outside reason. Better incentive structures towards making the country the leader in the world in science and education makes you literally hitler.

The thing with complex systems, emergent behaviour, trial and error, evolution, is that much falls by the wayside. It isn't very efficient, it's just autonomous. Capitalism works like this, and we regulate capitalism to mitigate waste and inequality, or try to. Does Cummings think that we shouldn't? The nation has a duty of care to the nation; the point of civilisation is that it isn't survival of the fittest. I like the idea of attracting a wider scope of talent to politics though, and I do think that we should focus on education, our nation is pretty dumb. I include myself in there, I had a mediocre education. RU-vid has been a better school for me. If people were better educated they might make better choices for themselves, and cost the nation less. This was a very well researched video, good work.
@kyrilluk
@kyrilluk 4 года назад
He is not advocating for replacing Capitalism with another system. He is just saying that Ministers are dealing with extremely complex systems which require their advisor to understand well such systems to the point of been able to predict the actual outcome of their own decision. But right now, the MPs advisors are incompetent. If you want to run the NHS, it is better to have health expert combined with economic expert rather than the current bureaucrats for example.
4 года назад
I couldn't disagree with your statement more. Capitalism, by which I mean free market, zero tariffs, small state, property rights, rule of law, no protectionism, capitalism benefits from the minimum regulation possible, preferably none at all. Cummings, I think agrees with me. We should not regulate to mitigate waste, regulation _causes_ waste. We should not regulate to prevent inequality (I assume you mean equality of outcome) because doing so is immoral, unfair, and everybody ends up worse off.

@@kyrilluk Where did FriedEgg imply that Cummings was advocating for replacing capitalism? What he said was that capitalism works like the complex systems Cummings describes, and while we make use of capitalism (for good reasons), we also regulate and supplement it - for good reasons. So taking Cummings' ideas at face value and trying to implement them as purely as possible, will lead to similarly severe problems as just letting capitalism run wild.

He hates bankers, he hates civil servants, he hates politicians, he hates the sorts of midwit who clog the arteries of HR departments, NGOs, think tanks and policy recommendation teams - he doesn't want power. He wants to set up a team which will do sufficient damage to the civil service's avenues of control and revolving doors with chairmanship and consultancy positions with moneyed interests. Olly Robbins (a guy as pro-EU as it gets) - how much did he get as a retainer for his one-day-a-week consultancy position with Goldman Sachs after he left? Take a guess - these are the sorts of people we're trying to burn out. You ever seen someone pour hot liquid metal into an ant's nest?

Not actual psychiatry. 1. Cummings denies the ever present greed of the Tory party that led to defunding social systems including his own actions. 2. Cummings cherry picks history and simplifies it by saying the assassination of Otto Bismark led to WW1 instead of looking at the situation in that era which Otto Bismark is part of the authoritarian state that didn't care about worker's rights or women rights leading to demonstrations where the demonstrators were killed by the authoritarian state...and of course this led to radicalization of people like Ferdinand Colin-Blind(the assassinator) because they didn't see any other way to be taken seriously as the people were easily killed. Otto Bismark was just another shit head interested in more power and money. Other cherry pickings include ancient Athens which interests lie in NOT GIVING everyone an education because that would mean less slaves to serve them. Also these people took advantage of women as they went out drinking and discussing until morning (deadbeat husbands and they were not grateful to their wives) 3. Cummings tries to justify decentralization when this means destroying checks and balances which does occur in dictatorship countries. And it would mean destroying the information network(between different departments) that could stop terrorists, infections, contamination, economic downfalls, and even curbing the efforts of natural disaster recovery. Ever wonder why the majority of dictatorships have poor systems in place? Decentralization is very much part of it other than the obvious corruption that took place. 4. Cummings used a political scientist's research for his decentralization theory but as every researcher would say, never focus on just that 1 research alone but take it as part of the complex mind of humans. This is just all part of Cummings con based on a edited history written for children instead of actual history. I find this Cummings to be very disingenuous when he ignores the problems he and his party made in the 1st place for greed which will happen far more easily in decentralization.

Nspnspker politics is, in general, not nearly as ideal as Cummings makes it out to be. Politics is about selfish jerks screwing over millions of people in order to get benefits. It always has been. And I’m not taking sides here, because every “side” is just another private interest trying to screw everyone /else/ over. That’s why politics doesn’t apply realism. Nobody cares to actually try to find the best solution. Flinging shit is just too much fun, I guess, even if it costs everyone tons of money and kills people. The problem with the idea of ending the feud is that politics MUST be about protecting private interests. That’s because, for any real discussion to be had on what actions a government should take or what objective it should set, you must first agree on the fundamental assumptions that drive everything else. Is equality of outcome important? (Just one assumption for example) Some say no, and some say yes. If you got everyone to agree on one of the two, then you could move forward... but they don’t. And, unlike former eras where compromise allowed good government, nobody wants to compromise. Therefore, chaos.
@HondoTrailside
@HondoTrailside 4 года назад
Lots of errors here: 1) The purpose of politicians is obvious, it is to earn the right to govern from the electorate. We have seen with Trump and Brexit (without prejudice to the underlying issues), how damaging it is if people do not consent to being ruled, when they loose a vote. The genius of a Boris Johnson is not his ability to see into the future, but his ability to convince people to follow him into the future. 2) White blood cells that fail to defeat the invader, are not defective, they just do not match up to the task. They might have been the exact ticket for a different encounter. Cummings wants to centralize power on him, to decide who gets to keep their job, or gets axed. Part of that will be suitability, but most of it will be loyalty. He uses these science examples to gull people into the myth of his superiority, when they are shallow Reader's Digest understandings. 3) Scientists have a good system, but it works because it is removed from the main levers of economic and political power, for the most part. Bring scientists into government and they will be co-opted like anyone else. 4) I am not sure I believe Cummings' passion for maths and science. He seems to know just enough to make people go along with him to a degree. If you follow his arguments the same narrow examples come up over and over. It seems more like a ploy than true mastery. I think he is a politician who has found his way to be followed. He points out how poor politicians and media are at science. What better field to lear a few phrases and anecdotes from, since by his very words, he knows that his political and media audiences will not be well versed in these subjects.

I read the Cummings blog from which this derives. I find it hard to take seriously a man who says his objective to is to bring more understanding of probabilistic out comes to politicians and to push UK up ladder of science and education, after just using social media analytics to destroy the concept of truth and objective reality. His pal Gove told us we didn’t need experts. And the exploration of distributed intelligence - his idea is to centralise executive power first and then roll out a new paradigm of decentralised government. He sounds much like Plato’s philosopher Kings, ruling wisely on behalf of citizens. We know where that ends up. Tyranny. Untrammelled executive power is his means to an end. Not gonna work.
@alexpotts6520
@alexpotts6520 4 года назад
I'm gonna get grief for saying this, but the whole "we don't need experts" is the biggest misquotation in contemporary politics. What Gove said was "people in this country have had enough of experts making predictions and getting them wrong." He wasn't saying experts were worthless, he was saying that they weren't infallible. And on this particular occasion - well, the economy has held up much better than most economists thought it would in the wake of the Brexit vote. Gove was right to be sceptical. Overall I agree with many of the observations in your post. It's just the whole Gove quote is one of my personal bugbears, particularly as it is generally raised in the context of how fake news has become acceptable while itself being an example of fake news.

Alex Potts Thanks for bring this to my attention, I didn’t know about it. I would like to add that while various predictions may well have been off, it’s clear that the motive of the statement is populist. He's setting 'the people' against the 'experts' who are clearly the educated and therefore the elite. Someone who genuinely had 'the people's' interest in mind would set out to provide them with information that would help them. Economics is a social science as well as simply a numbers game. It’s the product of numbers and social behaviour, and therefore not a simplistic system, the outcomes of which are easily predicted. Imagine what it would be like to have a leader who explained this sort of thing to the people who have never bothered to think about it.

Well, experts on Brexit were wrong (I and many others predicted that). The experts in the OBR predicted numbers which I and others didn't buy. We were right and we did not have all their data to hand. There is paper to be written on 'instinct'. It doesn't just lay in the deep parts of our minds from the period where we had to fight or flight whilst hunting animals. Instinct serves us well today in markets and events the world over. Some may just call it common sense - the ability to speak to many people in life and then build a picture - what does it look like on the ground? If it doesn't match, then the experts are sat in Whitehall commuting short distances in a bubble and are clueless about reality. There they sit, on tv and in offices predicting, and more often than not getting it wrong. For all their education I have a better record of calling it. My education is not specific to their field yet I have better outcomes - work that one out. I too am tired of experts. Oh and this whole green (new Marxism) agenda - that is going to be found out to be the largest hoax and robbing of the poor the country and the world has ever seen. It is a perfect excuse to suck money up from the bottom where it can be ill-afforded to serve the interests of companies whom have run out of road when it comes to consumer power to purchase products. This is a new socialist doctrine. I'll give it 20-30 years.

Richard Wills-Woodward Excellent. Do you diagnose your own medical complaints as well? As there is no reason for anyone to go to university, or acquire any knowledge base through extended study, let's close down the NHS altogether and save ourselves a lot of money by simply asking our neighbours to cure our illnesses with their common sense. Perhaps the local amateur theatre group can come up a solution to the coronavirus? Or perhaps the next quiz night can feature designs for that bridge Johnson has been going on about? Down With Architects And Orthodontists!! You would think that someone so gifted in native understanding would come up with a more persuasive argument than, 'I knew it before anyone else!' That doesn’t even work in primary school.
@richardwills-woodward5340
@richardwills-woodward5340 4 года назад
@@pencilfriendpaperscribbler6032 Definitely down with most architects - nothing today is much good and certainly not attractive for the most part. You refer much to the health service, but of course in health I would refer to the doctor. As for the 'I knew it before anyone else' - I didn't say that. You would think after so much fake news you would learn to be competent with the English language and not state things that weren't stated. When it comes to the economics and economic forecasts, yes I do have a better record and yes others not in that bubble too, so I don't stand alone there. The 'educated' in many fields still know little when it comes to 'getting it' and forecasting the animal spirit and instinct. This is the part that hurts so many 'experts' - the facts that detail is for the interest of the subject and in no way makes you better at understanding the big picture...at all. This still kills so many university graduates and even older people inside. You should do your best to educate yourself but do not think that makes you a master of your subject in all aspects of your field. It has been shown most people outside a field predict better than those within due to more lateral thinking and not getting bogged down in (unnecessary) detail. What matters is whether you can read the winds. I'll give you another on the NHS too - I am no doctor (as already stated indirectly)... doctors (most) defend it but the system is poor and yet few can see the poor management in it, the bloated management structures and the poor logic of theatre allocation, the fat and lazy people that get more unfit by the second meaning the NHS spends 11% of its budget on diabetes now. Then there's smoking and drinking to excess. Those things with poor management are costings us tens of billion of pounds but the public have an NHS religion and so do the doctors. Nothing gets any better. It doesn't need money, it needs management and discipline with an enormous does of outside interference to shake up the narcissistic management and over-sized unions.

I agree that politicians should be comprised of more scientists and engineers. As an engineer we study optimisation (Ant Colony Optimisation is loosely referenced in this video), which shows us that there are many situations where you can improve systems AND make savings at the same time. Having that kind of skillset in politics would be great because most politicians think you can't save money without making something worse, and the same goes for improving a system without losing money. That being said, Dominic Cummings ideas I think are unlikely to gain ground, because he's working with the Conservatives, whose aims are to "conserve", AKA keep things basically the same. They aren't going to take risks that mean themselves possibly losing money, so the political systems and politicians are likely to stay very similar.

Him running the vote leave campaign wasn't because he was a brexiteer at heart or anything, but more that he saw it as a chance to change politics by running a different kind of campaign and he succeeded in that. Politics and the way people look at elections/referendums is different because the leave campaign won. He thinks the EU holds us back in some ways but the biggest issue is the UK system itself. So by working with Boris he can try to tackle the UK's faults and by promoting Brexit he can cut out the EU problems by leaving, as he has no chance at all of changing/fixing the EU.

Bismarck certainly tipped the scales, but the unification of Germany, in my reading, would have been very likely regardless. Then again, I'm a sociologist. I live on trends.

We have legislation against behaviour that is likely or even designed to result in harm to others, and while freedom of expression is important, it's also something that shouldn't be without consequence if said expression causes genuine harm to others. This area of the law can be a bit murky though, as there are a lot of laws against speech, art and so on that are written vaguely and given to police interpretation for the purpose of arrest and even on the spot fines, so that's where the discussion would get more technical than I think the Comments section warrants.

There are so many variables that could have led to events going the same way. Bismarks supporters may have gone forward with his plans with renewed vigour.

The lady working at McDonald's doesn't pay tax. Minimum wage is nowhere near taxable. Students borrow to pay the fees, those will be the tax payers in 20 years with the burden of unpaid loans either way.

Ramel Every politician lies. If you refuse to vote for liars then you just can’t vote - instead most people just support their favourite party or leader (or general direction they want the country to head towards)

You missed why Tresury has been consolidated in No. 10. They simply can't manage money & budgets. Putting them under supervision and demanding spending controls are good things.

He’s obviously a bit thick, because despite expounding all these policies he goes against almost all of them and treats those who do with contempt.
