It is a race of individuals when you see people on HN posting about making hundreds of thousands for doing the job of multiple people. Sure not everybody wants to do that. What is the point in hobbling those that do by forcing them to fit a measure?

The individual seeing with metrics is not the action taking mind. The person who sees through metrics is a heart hidden behind a corporate body. The heart cannot imagine greater heights, it can only regulate flow. Blood pressure spikes get eliminated for "normality".

This lack of thought and focus on flow eliminates morals and devalues changing forms and structures in favour of a mindless gigantism. Corporations don't change individuals, they lump responsibility for failure upon me's and you's. The corporation's goal is to grow the flow at human cost. I among many would prefer not become one of Howard's humanoids (Network 1976) and would instead prefer to go out on the stage of individual achievement, if at all. We are all vulnerable to the snakes that encircle and poison hearts. Ideas go in one side of the heart and come out the other side dead.
