> It really seems like plans, expectations, regulations are constantly shifting ….almost like by design to cause systems/organizations to fail.
James Lindsay - of the hoax grievance studies [0] fame - talks about this in a lengthy series of netcasts [1] based around Herbert Marcuse's "An essay on liberation" [2]. According to his explanation these irrational and often counterproductive policies are part of an attempt to provide the conditions which would enable the creation of a new society based on "stakeholder capitalism" along the lines of Schwab's "Fourth Industrial Revolution" [3].
Read the essay - it is quite dense - and listen to Lindsay's thoughts on what Marcuse means to current affairs. Do it in that order to make sure you know what he is talking about, he sometimes stumbles over sentences and does not really know the German language at all while the original is written in that language and this translation still contains a number of German words. Form your own conclusion as to whether Lindsay is right in seeing Marcuse's take on the future of Marxist ideology reflected in current affairs.
Thanks for sharing, very thought provoking. In short yes “ Form your own conclusion as to whether Lindsay is right in seeing Marcuse's take on the future of Marxist ideology reflected in current affairs.”
