It just seems like basically a heavy handed government that decides everything by committee, and downplays the importance of the enterprising upstart.

One could call it prestige infection: physics has been so successful and prestigious, everyone from economists to psychologists to political scientists want to show they're DOING SCIENCE and SERIOUS BIZ by aping it, even if its methods ill-fit.
Also, as noted, that intellectual heritage of faux-prestige gives cover for psychopaths -- Stalin types -- to capture and wield power. So in a sense you've got a baptist and bootleggers coalition, but instead of baptists it's sanctimonious deluded libs. |
