If one cannot get rid of power concentration (e.g. by subsistence or federation) then democracy's playbook seems best (voting, transparency, checks and balances) or even random selection.
- mlrtime 3y agoThere is nothing special about the office, it is just a reflection on humans and general socities/governments. We like to pretend it's different and meritocracy has more value, but the same rules of politics are involved (corporate vs government). So, I disagree, deomcracy's playbook will yield the same results as the same actors are playing the game.
- RGamma 3y agoWell, my point being to change the rules of the game such that even if everyone is assumed to greedily (i.e. first order) optimize for their own goals this cannot easily cause the organization to rot. A very simple application of this is the worker's council/Betriebsrat (though this one too can get infected by politics depending on implementation). It's certainly a highly non-trivial issue and details matter a lot...
