Your surprise comes from the fact that you're modeling an institution as a single person when it in reality consists of a hundred thousand people. It's obviously less mental effort to reason about large entities this way, but it's obviously much less accurate.
- phendrenad2 6y agoThat's funny because institutions can only be modeled as a statistical average of all of the humans who contribute to a given property of the institution.
- wutbrodo 6y agoUntrue (there's plenty of emergent behavior in large organizations), and ignoring that, irrelevant. An obvious trivial example is looking at the property of consistency in actions: an organization consisting of a hundred thousand people is going to be far less consistent in many sequences of actions than any given person would be.
