I feel like being managed by an algorithm is probably pretty bad.

But being managed by a manager with discretion and judgement, and a suite of good tooling, is probably about as good as it gets

Philosophically the computer ought to be a tool to extend a human's capabilities, rather than replace a human, imo

Human managers also easily succumb to survivorship and confirmation bias (I got this far when others didn’t; I must be great!)

I very much am for letting the machines do it all socializing/democratizing what “all” means, and otherwise giving people their time. But we continue to draw out hierarchical charts because that’s what we’ve been doing for centuries

Sunk cost fallacy applies to human history over generations. The memes of the recent past are not immutable and will necessarily change as generational change attenuates their signal. Being afraid of it is childish
