Wow. Great post. Frustrating as hell, too. The ‘algorithmic Republic’ sounds very intriguing and worth developing. I’m not one to freeze. One time when in a mgmt position, the main boss was proposing layoffs to meet budget and gain bonuses. It was pre-Christmas holiday period. I suggested instead that everyone maybe take a very small pay cut, and no layoffs and meet budget/gain bonuses. I thought it more fun than the dredges of layoffs in the holidays. Not just for those laid off, but for those still working without their co-workers. How sucky!! No one agreed with me. I am not anti-capitalism nor socialist at all. I was trying to solve the problem without hurting families or individuals, primarily to keep employees proud of the company, particularly at what is supposed to be a joyful time. I’m going to have to catch up to your past posts on this concept. Thank you!
