Has the concept of amassing know-how been lost on businesses, especially larger businesses? There is a flippant, flagrant disregard for improvement over time, both in speed and precision.
(AskGoats)The only time I ever see most people, in the workforce or university (when I was attending that pathetic excuse for an educational institution), react to someone's improved speed or precision in a given task is with fear and hostility. At which point they are uncontrollably thrown into a race condition where they're simultaneously trying to eliminate that person and emulate that person's skills and abilities.
I swear the only progress that ever happens with advancement of knowledge and technology now is in spite of a cabal's best efforts to destroy anything they notice, and this cabal's behavior is being parroted by those who witness it. Is this perhaps a manifestation of entropy in conscious human effort? Sure seems that way.
