What If Government Efficiency Meant Enlightenment, Not Excel Sheets?

April 1, 2025

What if we flipped the idea of government efficiency on its head?

Imagine a Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) that didn’t measure how fast paperwork moved or how well projects were executed—but how enlightened its people were.

What if efficiency wasn’t just about output, but about intention? About having the right people in the room in the first place.

What if we started by identifying who’s actually there to serve—with integrity, heart, and dedication—and who’s just playing the game? What if we measured commitment, not just KPIs?

Because maybe the real inefficiency isn’t in the red tape or budget overruns—it’s in misaligned purpose.

Fix that, and trust could follow. And with trust, maybe then we’d worry less about how money’s spent—because we’d know it’s in the hands of people who care.

Out of the box? Maybe.

Out of this world? Perhaps.

But what if it’s the kind of seed worth planting?

Let it grow.
