People who choose the narrative of who the model is are thought leaders like journalists, academics and politicians. They are narrative and process oriented, not outcome oriented. This means that when a process started with good intentions fails horribly (like Germany's decarbonation) they do not change opinions - Germany tried to do the right thing (even if it was a risky bet without precedent) so it's blameless. There is no course correction - the process was correct wasn't it ?

Furthermore, they have entrenched this mode of functioning in Western societies, who have become process not outcome oriented.

People interested in hacking and startups are probably among the most outcome oriented, so have trouble understanding how this process oriented mindset without course correction can exist.
