I'd disagree on that. Humans are made of cells and yet we are ready to talk about humans not just cells. It's a higher level of abstraction with its own decisions. Same way, companies are made of humans yet they have power structures that make them behave in unique ways. They make decisions based on processes that maybe no human would approve. Sure, there is often a catalyst leader but the organization can move on without it.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoThat nowhere near a reasonable analogie, humans are agents in their own right, we have a brain. A company has no will of it's own, anything in the interest of the firm but not in the interest of any of the employees, it won't happen.
- zupa-hu 7y agoThe book called Creation by Steve Grand has great arguments in favor of the analogie. I came across it as the favorite book of Jeff Bezos. Sorry, I know this is a weak response to your argument but it would be too much to cover here, I don't have the time and I'm not sure I should convince anybody anyway. If you want to shake your beliefs on what life and intelligence are, go read the book.
