Yes, that was even heavily implied in my post you're critiquing!
This cycle of very bureaucratic orgs being outcompeted by lightly bureaucratic orgs, which then grow very bureaucratic, and are in turn outcompeted, results in a medium bureaucracy level on average in the long run.
- woooooo 4y agoBut how do you compete with Harvard? In practice, the bureaucracy has captured the brand and the brand is what students are buying. It's more likely that the entire western system is outcompeted than it is that the current set of elite schools are outcompeted within our system, imo.
