I have several thoughts. Was gilligan a genius? So many attempts to get off the island were completely hare brained, maybe only he could see it. Lovable sabotage can be an effective tool to help save an org from itself. But the more important thought, I’m reminded of all the works of Luis von Ahn who was trying to capture this surplus. He had a talk talking about the number of hours spent playing soltaire, and used the unit of empire state buildings built and it was some staggering number of units. It was a very compelling idea about the same time as this article. It’s a shame so much of that surplus has gone towards solidifying several tech giants rather than more things like Gary’s Mod.
