Overall my experience and why I pick my organizations based on the second rather then the first group. I suspect that if external pressure is too high, it will lead to efficiency but also cutthroat environments. If it's not high enough, then the organization will become bloated and unable to react to changes in the world.

Happy medium in all things, I suppose, even in bureaucracy. It would be nice if people in group one had a say without going through the morass of other organizations.

I just read about China's Social Credit System. It's it's like video game XP meets Big Brother.

"Residents ofย Rongchengย start with 1000 points, and different acts change their score. For example, a traffic ticket is -5 points, an โ€œexemplary city level heroic actโ€ is +30 points, and donating to charity or blood banks equates to points depending on the amount given."

โœจOnce upon a time there was a brave witch who faced a treacherous queen.
Things looked bleak, but in the end she was victorious, thus bringing calm to the kingdom.โœจ

TIL: There is a Cuneiform Digital Library Initiatve.

Funding Choices, announced last year and still in beta, is designed โ€œto help publishers with good ad experiences recover lost revenue due to ad blockingโ€. Publishers who are a part of this initiative have the tools to spot users with ad blockers, who are then either asked to switch off the blockers or โ€œbuy an ad removal passโ€ via Google Contributor
