Bureaucracy: Difference between revisions

Of course, there is a [[paradox]] here. For this is to strike, hard, at the [[will to pluralism]], out of which the embrace of [[diversity]] arises. Yet [[high modernism|corporate modernism]] ''embraces'' “[[diversity and inclusion]]” as one of its lodestars. But it is a standardised, commoditised, colour-coded, graded form of [[diversity]]: so homogenised as to be a perversion of the original meaning of the word “[[diversity]]”.

[[Nietzsche]] would spin in his grave. Bureaucracy prevails over common sense, sound judgment and the instinct to be agile because it is an [[emergent]] state of a distributed network. It scales with size. Bureaucracy [[Emergence|emerges]] through the operation of millions of [[micro-passive-aggression]]s, each of which is in itself innocuous, but whose effect in aggregate is colossal. Each arises from the perfectly reasonable instinct to socialise risk and build consensus. Each taken alone may appear prudent, pragmatic and even a smart way of getting to the desired end-goal.
