One sentence really caught my eye.... "We may still review a plan, design, or result, because if we don't, we just get the same output as everyone else."
Is getting the same output as everyone else bad? I'd say not necessarily. When you're making something, you might want to spend your "innovation tokens" on the core of what you want to do better. Then do a good-enough job at everything else.
To me it feels like the subtext in this is that making things more accessible is bad because then your stuff isn't unique anymore? I do not think this zero-sum / scarcity mindset is really accurate or helpful, IMO.
