Taylorism is pretty cringe. Wild that so many corpos live and breathe the most simplified version of it as their spiritual guide.

@mauve What's Taylorism?

@Hyolobrika People trying to make "scientific models" of stuff to do large scale planning. The models end up being flawed and constantly have negative side effects, the book "Seeing Like a State" has some useful insights on the matter. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management

@mauve So, it's what that book calls "high modernism"?

@Hyolobrika I saw it more as one component of high modernism, but basically yeah.

It was a long time since I started reading that book. Still haven't finished it.
