I’ve come to the same conclusion. But not just about companies, but everything. Talk to someone in the military, or government agencies, or working on large infrastructure projects. It’s the same story everywhere - chaos. And it’s generally not because of malice, being dumb, or lack of trying.
I think as a civilization we’re much more like ants than a troop of smart chimps. In that our civilization is a kind of a proverbial emergent anthill. And most likely the relative individual understanding of our respective anthills doesn’t differ too much between ants and us.
And it’s kind of freeing. You just move your proverbial bit of earth that you’re just compelled to put somewhere else, and don’t stress the rest. Emergence will take care of it.
