RE: Utopia ALWAYS leads to Dystopia (Updated/ReSteemed 5/25)
"But we relied on our common humanity with those guys attacking us. I don't understand what happened!"
Loving everyone is the goal, but not when he's coming after my friend with a weapon...
Interesting post. I should read Utopia, I have a copy somewhere that I never got to. Rao's interpretation is succinct! lol
That whole series on Office Space is interesting!
Sorry, I do not follow the connection.

Rao's discussion of the company hierarchy as composed of 3 types of employees (sociopath, clueless, loser) can be seen in government and politics as well, especially in the sociopath type as a politician or burrocratic bigwig
I only watched a few episodes. I don't recall ever experiencing it as political. Dunno if I can handle watching it anymore though. Will have to give the article you provided a better read if I get some free time soon, but it seems a rather pessimistic view to have only 3 types (and specifically those) of employees. With those 3 options alone, I guess I'd rather be clueless? lol!
I don't think I can do Rao's explanation justice (and not in one comment); he does a great job of clarity in brevity ;>
He uses the examples from the show The Office to demonstrate
Brevity and precision are definitely skills where I lack as well. (Thank you steemit for the chance to practice.) Hopefully I'll get to his article this weekend, provided I don't forget.
always too much to read, too much to write ;>
And even if the day were 28 hrs, it'd still be the same I figure...
Have a great weekend, even if only 48^^
