I formed this opinion, that in academic institutions there exist two types of persons:

bureaucratic types, who play politics and so on, like the ones you describe.

and the ones that actually know the content and love their fields of study.

my opinion is that institutions need both types. But what do I know... I am going to finish my masters (or maybe not) and get out of academia.

this is also why I consider typical employment to be "slavery, but partial".

But comparing employment to slavery is a taboo

but I see this worse:

individual humans vs the collective groups which we come together to form;

like employees vs their own company

humans vs corporations but corporations are made (in part) from humans.

heck, it's like we're having some kind of an autoimmune reaction: the cells in a single individual human fighting against the individual human.

...but hey, for most of my life people chose to say I'm crazy and ignore what I say.

I think about this as another of those "industries" in which a lot people want to get into. Similar to art, animation, acting, screen writing, recording artist music; I suppose any creative industries will be like this.

All these 'industries' become exploitative (possibly capitalism has something to do with how this happens. but let's stay on topic)

So then, I consider this pattern of exploitation -- of "put up with it or get out", to be a sort of collective (or cultural, organizational) trauma in the sense that it self-perpetuates.

People join, get overworked, become traumatized, and then some make it through. Now, once on the other side, they proceed to overwork newcomers.

It's very common to think "I made it through, and I've become what I am because of those experiences" a rationalization of the trauma.

But I wonder about them who make it... was it because of overworked abuse, or was it in spite of it?

my own WAN IP got changed a few months after my ISP was eating(err, bought) by another larger ISP... now it's a private IPv4 address. I'm pretty sure my 'symmetrical bandwidth' is now only really true when testing it, a technique first invented by Herr Volkswer aus Deutsch-Wagen.

yes, instead of one network, many independent networks which then can get connected together, forming a network of networks, some kind of inter-network!

..oh wait. see what I did? ahhAHAHA

we will distrust that which we cannot inspect.

if we cannot inspect the content of the microcode updates in the context of the architecture's schematics then it won't be trusted

This response just turns my question into:

why haven't the usual ways been sufficient for the rest of the tech companies?

why are the usual ways still sufficient for apple but not for the others???

follow up question,

why hasn't apple needed to do this? how are they keeping 'tabs' on 'worker power'?

if you care about individual liberty in the mid-term future, I would recommend to look into it, sure it'll be hard to watch.

step one: shift the focus from free software (liberty minded software) on to "open source" software. i.e. software which you can look but not touch.

step two: profit
