This is something I’ve discussed with my father repeatedly. The majority of the populace just don’t have the spare processing power (to equate to computers) to be able to handle life and think about it’s deeper meanings and flow. Let’s face it how many people still do not recognise the utility of a computer? How many years will it be until programmers start to think about how their programs will actually be used and compensate properly for them? Will it be in our lifetimes that businesses will stop thinking in such closed views as bits of paper and just promoting at will or will they convert to a fuly integrated recruitment and promotion system which takes into account the personality and real world capabilities of prospective employees, then taking to promoting those who show the qualities they desire in higher positions rather than those who perform well in their current roles or who show a desire for power and promotion?

There are many things wrong with the world and many could be laid at the feet of not thinking things through with intelligence? Basically any system can be criticised and all of them have failings. Selecting the best would be a subjective measure and to employ it as standard would be to follow in Taylor’s footsteps and that never works.
