For most of my adult life I've been working on "projects" of one kind or another. At work, I do tech projects. At home I do things like garden, or home improvements, or property "improvements". I organized several bicycle races over the years, which is actually a pretty big undertaking. One thing I learned is when there's a lot of "management" involved in a project, it will probably fail because the people couldn't do it in the first place--I only see that happen at corporate jobs. On the flip side, when there's no management required, the project is certain to succeed.
In those projects that were certain to succeed, everyone knew what they were doing. So the "management" involved was making a check list, then the team checked the items off, then the project was done.
The corporate idea that incompetent people can be "managed" to be productive seems like an idea from the never ending slave societies that extended back before the bronze age. This idea is the main idea of the current day neoliberal corporatocracies. I think it's incompatible with the northern european people's DNA. It's a shame they're all wasting their time and energy keeping these shit corporate systems running.
The technocrat society is the ultimate expression of that ancient slave culture. Build huge infrastructure to "manage" every aspect of life... Gross.
