I wasnt sure if you’d agree with me that the ideology of meritocracy is at the heart of the issue.. K-H management may be the thread unifying Veblen vs Romer, but i dont think either has really nailed the (Midwestern postNietzsche “ascetic protestantism”) SIGINT aspect behind it all (veblen has stalked it with the evolutionary instincts tho, same for Orwell in 1984?) (Thats how we get distracted from discussion of designori,strategy,tactics,DDJ,shamans?) Lmk of any specific questions you might have [PG is interesting as lowland scottish SIGINT is surprisingly far from the “norwegian” style of “rational inattention”, IMHO, with regards to secrecy esp.] [one observes, not tangentially, of Veblen’s meandering elocution vs PG’s plain prose]

Meritocracy, in that founder:elect::hired help:preterite? [TBV and PG are separated both by a century and by EMH] Where does lowland scots come in?

    My bad, I'd thought the lowland scots had all the industry (certainly all the equestrian statues!) and the highland were the rustics (with a smattering of London escapees)?

      No, you are right.. [some were only rusticated]
