> eager applicants for the hot seat, [...] almost all of them are dribbling lunatics. [...] The sensible, committed super sharp of suite c start shouting and screaming and fighting as soon as it's mentioned that they might be given the CEO role in the future - they know that it's a nightmare. This parallels U.S. presidental campaigns. I posit all the time that large corporations are going away, in a long slide towards voluntary federations of sub-human corporations. (Fewer than one full time employee) Maybe the effect you describe is the writing on the wall. The biggest corporations are becoming unrunnable in any sustainable way. No forward motion, just death throws as previously booked resources are used up. Over time, this affliction will come to smaller and smaller corporations until just human persons and AIs remain. "Large corporations" will remain only to the extent CEOs can turn them into voluntary federations. Zuck buying companies and letting them run independently isn't really a corporation in the traditional sense. It has the whiff of a voluntary federation.
