The single most dangerous foolishness that can beset an organization (siderea.livejournal.com)

This is a really insightful article. A shame it hasn't garnered any discussion, but maybe people feel they don't have much to add.

I think the next big wave of economic growth is not 3d printing, or AI, or anything like that; it's figuring out how to actually run large organisations effectively. Nick Szabo has a bunch of essays on how it was the printing press which enabled mass literacy, which enabled large bureaucratic organisations. Relatively new in human history.

Email-powered organisations are only a few decades old, and we're still ironing out the kinks.

I'm not economist; but have to ask - do economist not already study the cost of information?

Yellow on purple, how has anyone actually completed this article? The next article should be about the cost of eye strain.
