Bureaucracy. So much!

What’s remarkable is thinking about all the rules and laws we subscribe to without a single course on what they are. The tax code is the same. This idea that we need an expert to navigate these minefields is a bit boggling when you think about it. Humans have survived for most of history without such rules and regulations. Perhaps some is needed. But maybe we have lost something in the translation of complex systems into what they do to our everyday lives. Humans first. Not systems. While systems are essential, complexity is no substitute for community and culture. In fact, complexity becomes the perfect excuse to hide.
