Conjecture
A pot spent on buildings is gone; the same pot endowed, spending only its payout, funds a program indefinitely and makes failure cheap. Hidalgo's redesign of Yachay: a billion dollars at a 5% payout gives about 50 million a year, enough for 50 research chairs, and after ten years the billion is still there. For a futarchy treasury this means the decision market should allocate the payout freely and hold the principal behind a higher bar.

a project focused on attracting talent using the interest payments of an endowment would have better long-term viability than a project focused on building a city of knowledge that is burning a limited pile of cash
