While true in principle, natural organisms tend to be vastly more complex than even the largest corps, and complexity leads to emergent behaviour that you wouldn't see in a hierarchical human organisation.
- filoeleven 9y agoHow about a culture?
- jacobush 9y agoHm, you say that like it’s self evident. Don’t corporations do things alone humans couldn’t?
- kitd 9y agoThat's not really emergent behaviour. eg the decision making of an organisation is simply the decision making of it's personnel. Complex organisations can self-organise even though the individual parts have little understanding of their position in the structure. A better simile would be societies at large, and the changes in things like housing markets or stock markets, driven by individuals who are only guided by their own private interests, not those of the market as a whole.

Most of our decisions are made by micro-organisms in our gut, by our microbiome. There are other decision-making centers as well. The self is not even aware in most cases that he/she is just applying a decision that was made for him internally.
