@Daojoan
For me this just boils down to humanity. Anything that goes against the wants of the animal will get push back from the animal. In other words, if it’s not supportive of happiness and love, it will suffer friction.
Anything that suffers friction will ultimately lose to what doesn’t suffer friction. The ‘optimised worker’ is a crazy blend of Victorian empire drone production and capitalist machine.
This stuff fails.

@Daojoan @daniel I’m hoping the phrase “going solid” makes a comeback. Or maybe a comefirsttime; I’m not sure it was ever that widely known:

In the past most healthcare delivery systems were loosely coupled—that is, activities and conditions in one part of the system had only limited effect on those elsewhere. Loose coupling allowed the system to buffer many conditions such as short term surges in demand. Modern management techniques and information systems have allowed facilities to reduce inefficiencies in operation. One side effect is the loss of buffers that previously accommodated demand surges. As a result, situations occur in which activities in one area of the hospital become critically dependent on seemingly insignificant events in seemingly distant areas. This tight coupling condition is called “going solid”. Rasmussen’s dynamic model of risk and safety can be used to formulate a model of patient safety dynamics that includes “going solid” and its consequences. Because the model addresses the dynamic aspects of safety, it is particularly suited to understanding current conditions in modern healthcare delivery and the way these conditions may lead to accidents.","language":"en","type":"link","author_name":"","author_url":"","provider_name":"BMJ Quality & Safety","provider_url":"","html":"","width":0,"height":0,"image":null,"image_description":"","embed_url":"","blurhash":"UCI=oT6TwGkC1Ps5S7fP;0Iwobs,^S$3S1Si","published_at":"2005-04-01T00:00:00.000Z","authors":[]},"poll":null,"quote_approval":{"automatic":[],"manual":[],"current_user":"denied"}},{"id":"111955151232093015","created_at":"2024-02-18T23:47:16.000Z","in_reply_to_id":"111955094690366905","in_reply_to_account_id":"109320263312185377","sensitive":false,"spoiler_text":"","visibility":"public","language":"en","uri":"https://social.vivaldi.net/users/mtnrbq65/statuses/111955151162543815","url":"https://social.vivaldi.net/@mtnrbq65/111955151162543815","replies_count":0,"reblogs_count":0,"favourites_count":1,"quotes_count":0,"edited_at":null,"content":"This is an interesting example, thanks for posting
