The biological imperitive

Watch groups choose tools ( in modern day this is often software ). Look at the choices of tool, and ask, where is the locus of control e.g. who will have power when the system is rolled out. 90s software has given extraordinary power to the "system administrator". Today the wiki dominates which essentially removes any hierarchy but its amusing to watch the 'gatekeepers' baulk at this idea e.g. news corporations, academics, governments, NGOs, charities etc .

...the moneyless society, where everyone gets a resource quota, and people are not forced to compete against their will.

This sounds depressing, against human nature, we love the fight, surely?

The Cheap Round

Ask them questions, gather the data, and siphon off the results for your own glory. They wouldn't understand anyway, and we don't want to risk upsetting them.

Glass is half full?

Even a stopped watch is right twice a day.
