Universities are to organizations as cockroaches are to organisms. They're ridiculously inefficient and bureaucratic; but they're also the only form of organization likely to be around in 10,000 years.
- TaylorAlexander 12y agoThat is an absurd and useless analogy. You're essentially just declaring your opinion without anything to support it, which does nothing to further the conversation.
- pound 12y agoUniversities are bureaucratic, yes. in the same time you can encounter "academic" people there, who are genuinely interested in doing research, even for crappy money. That what they are, that's their nature. In corporations it's more often some a*holes working towards promotions/power not giving a shit about "advancement" or greater good for humanity/society. All IMHO of course, but based on personal experience in both areas.
