GoodJokes··on McKinsey and Company: Capital’s Willing Executioners
Honestly, workplace democratization. Management consulting depends on illegitimate hierarchies and elitism that discounts regular worker opinions and elevated opinions of “experts.” Consultants tell you how to read your watch. They are by and large not something to be disrupted, but just eliminated.

GoodJokes··on A plan to change how Harvard teaches economics
Dude, you have no idea what socialism is. The vox article did briefly mention someone close to socialism, but in a pretty dismissive way. You sound like a straight up ass backwards libertarian. We could big data our way to socialism, maybe, but we could also big data our way to worse outcomes than currently. Technocratic solutions are pretty conservative at this point. Either you are ok with capitalism alienating and exploiting the vast majority of the world or you are not ok with it.
