Do you have examples of bread makers or ship crews where a handful of people directed a million workers, directly without intermediaries that could make their own decisions?
> Lets now consider your idea that scale makes things evil: Would any level of scale of production or service beyond your nearest friends and family implicitly become evil?
The flaw is in your reasoning. Just because some level of scaling is good, does not mean that any level of scaling is good. You're ignoring that quantitative differences create qualitative differences.
- wegfawefgawefg 2y agoI dont have the assumption that scale implicitly means evil. Im sorry I think this just comes down to differences in values. I cant follow your logic because to follow it I have to accept the premise that selling bread to 100 people is good, but to 1000000 is bad. Everything you are saying depends on me believing that and I dont.
