In the sense that they leave technological investment to the private sector instead of partnering on high capital investment technologies, then yes. In the sense that they underfund NASA, and the high cost of non-mathematical research into the physical universe, then yes. in the sense that they underfund the PRODUCTION of military hardware that works and practice incremental improvement including the supply chain, rather than fund experimental military hardware that is of very limited value, then yes.

As I said elsewhere, the market for leadership will supply leaders. We must lead one another to sufficient numbers that leadership in that market can emerge.

—“Here’s how a typical speeding ticket (in this case a ticket from Indiana that we paid though our Traffic Justice Program) is divvied up:
State Courts: $49.00
County Courts: $18.90
City Courts: $2.10
Law Enforcement Fee: $4.00
Jury Fee: $2.00
Highway Work Zone: $0.50 (??)
Auto Record Keeping Fee: $7.00
Document Storage Fee: $2.00
Infractional Judgments: $99.50 The fine!
Public Defense Administration Fee: $3.00
Judicial Insurance Adjustment: $1.00
Judicial Salaries Fee: $18.00: Do you think murderers and rapists pay this fee too?
DNA Sample Processing Fee: $2.00 Very common service for traffic tickets.
Court Administration Fee: $5.00
Total Cost Of Ticket: $214.00
Traffic tickets are the mother’s milk of the court system. Thousands of judges rule on traffic cases knowing full well that guilty verdicts pay their salary, fund their retirement systems, and build their courthouses.
This should help explain why average traffic ticket recipients start out with two strikes against them when they enter traffic court. The court system just can’t afford to offer real justice. If it did it would drown in its own workload and go broke in the process.”—-

by William L. Benge
Pompei fled to regroup, and to afterward take over by conquest the empire we know as Rome. When the internal war was settled, those hardened on Pompei’s side were made examples of… it was a first when the decision on the field was to raise them on pikes all along the route back to Rome. This became an adopted standard for execution.
Any action beyond permissive by an authority is deemed harsh by a criminal.
Crime requires disincentives be in place. Incentive matters, and so does signalling.

I am not sure I understand this question. People act in their interests along different time lines from short (high time preference) to long (low time preference), and they do so because they are able to do so (agency) have the means (intelligence) and resources (training).

New Territory Or Return To Normal
Well, we are in new territory, because we have not been in a situation where women are able to produce sufficient income that they can pay other women to raise their children before, rather than depend upon men for income (and defense). It’s just never happened before. There is no means of producing that kind of male leadership for approximately two thirds of males. Without the compromise of marriage and the family and the division of labor, under contemporary technology, women basically do not need men whatsoever, unless they can capture one of the top third of men. And that is what is happening. It’s working out for about half of men and the other half are basically screwed. There are means of fixing this problem so that we nullify the ancestral family in accordance with the new economic and biological reality. (Which in turn restores our pre-agrarian relationships to their evolutionary state: serial relationships where women are heads of ‘households’. And men rotate through them as desired. with brothers and uncles providing ingroup care rather than husbands providing that care. That’s what we did prior to agrarianism and agrarian marriage. The first is to end redistribution so that we account for the higher demands of men in slower maturity, greater cellular damage, greater illness because of it and greater care needed in old age because of it. And he second is we end redistribution due do children so that men can trade income for affection. The third is that we restore all male institutions that have existed throughout history, for the caretaking of excess males. The fourth is to separate male and female education again so that males can learn in a highly competitive environment. Fifth is to create separate houses of government for men and women so that the tendency of women to welcome invaders that will destroy the productive potential of men, and male’s tendency to want to subordinate women. Otherwise we get what we see is men creating a civil war, which is what ALWAYS HAPPENS when there is an excess of unsatisfied men. This basically ends the experiment with universal marriage as a means of defending the polity against women bearing children and forcing the cost upon the group/tribe/village/polity. This is no problem any longer because women are, in large part, doing do. Furthermore divorced single mothers prefer to not divide their attention between men and children. (data). So we can reverse the (relatively recent) male centered household, and create the mother centered household with the males transiting in and out of households as desired by the women. None of that asks anything of women other than to end income provided my men to women, and end political domination of one sex over the other. If men are economically unnecessary then they are. That is what has happened because of modernity and the pill. So marriage is only valuable to 1/3 of men and women, and the rest of the time, men are merely gene contributors. So what are we going to do with those extra men – if they don’t have anything to care about? ‘Cause history is very clear on this subject
