I've spent my entire career working for a medium sized organization and in the past few years it has tried to become "agile". Most of this push is predicated on the idea that we will be able to go faster this way. As a result we have deconstructed ourselves. What's weird is that now we aren't actually even "faster to say we are finished." No, now we are only faster to say that we are going to be faster to be finished. We still end up taking a long time but as long as the slide deck says we are going to be done in a short amount of time, then all is believed to be running smoothly. It's very strange/depressing/unsettling.

>“Corporate wokeism I believe is the product of self-interest intermingled with the appearance of pursuing social justice,” says Vivek Ramaswamy, a former biotechnology executive and author of “Woke, Inc.”. He argues that Big Tech pursues corporate wokeism because appearing to embrace social justice suits such firms’ commercial interests—both in terms of recruitment and appeal to their customers. It performs allegiance to identity politics while simultaneously rejecting the left’s critique of capitalism. “A lot of Big Tech has agreed to bend to the progressive left,” he says, but “they effectively expect that the new left look the other way when it comes to leaving their monopoly power.”

I don't like the answer of "Because this X is obviously true" since the "obviously true" part changes so much. Do we think that morals that are "obviously true" are proceeding forward, like science, and are based on an increasing body of knowledge? There certainly doesn't seem to be the same kind of rigor applied to moral knowledge as there is to scientific knowledge.
