The balance here is what I think is really impressive. They both built assembly lines AND rely on deep, adhoc experience & skill in applicable places. Efficiency in narrower, skill-specialized areas and an "artisanal" approach

Maybe a lot of executives and lawyers start from this perspective, but if so it's a bad position. Lawyers are supposed to be educated risk mitigators, working to maximize value not just minimize risk. I see so much CYA that they adopt

Western society loves to make every kid "special" either in their challenges or abilities. We seem to forget that every kid IS special, in the sense they are diverse, inconsistent, immature and range dramatically across different

Sure there are cases as you describe, but painting the entire American culture wrt education with your very wide brush is unfair and incorrect. It's also soundly refuted by the global demand for American education, and historic perform
