i think govt/politics may become a/the high status thing for young people to go into again 

much of the most interesting and important problems of the agi era will be related to human coordination, systems design, governance etc.

interesting. could see it, but also feel like there's a huge distaste/distrust of any institituon, whether govt or corporation, among young folk

but the mamdanis and AOCs are kind of foreshadowing your thesis probably

yea maybe it’s not literal government institutions but just ppl wanting to work on those problems in some capacity, which takes on new forms
