Centralized Information

By centralizing information, corporate entities end up as far less than the sum of their parts. The top-down will imposition and planning ends up reducing the contribution of each person within the corporate body to maximize the flow of shekels to corporate heads so they can have large houses and luxury goods.

In most natural systems, a greater whole emerges from all the contributors. Human beings are in and of nature, even though they can pretend they are cogs in corporate machines. In the 19th century when europeans first settled the Ohio territories, they immediately razed nature to the ground--every tree and every animal was eradicated to make way for crops and cows. The crops and cows were necessary to make good on loans and payments for property. East coast aristocrats shekelized millions of acres of land--like native Americans selling New York for Wampum, centuries old trees were converted into china tea sets and fancy haircuts for Boston merchants by settlers.

This mode of planning--property contracts and deeds and shekels transfers--tends to restrict and compartmentalize information maybe almost always to hide some measure of guilt and wrongdoing that's part and parcel of imposing an alien will onto man and nature alike. Rather than man acting as a caretaker and steward of the place he lives, he becomes an accountant and tunes out the information about the place and tunes into the shekel flow.
