It’s an extremely uncomfortable conflict and contradiction between corporate organization, finance “capitalism”, engineering, and creatives; in addition to individual vs group dynamics.

Corporate structure is driven by exploiting and using value for and by a de facto nobility (the c-suite).

Finance “capitalism” seeks to extract value, be it short or long term.

Engineers are motivated by building and creating value.

Creatives are driven by changes for changing’s sake to remain or get a seat at the table.

The uncomfortable reality is that these are inherently conflicting interests that are pulling and pushing each other, but mostly top down.

It’s essentially the “colonialist” exploitative model of existence using creators to leverage rather than extract natural resources, a system that is increasingly not suitable for the modern, technological, commoditized world. AI is a good example of that; it arguably diminishes the value to n degrees of both engineers and creatives, while also leaving the “nobility” and their neo-aristocratic corporate system out in the open exposed as revealing it not only as having no clothes on, but utterly abusive, useless, and downright evil. And no, that’s across the whole political spectrum, not just the opposite of your silly system approved political sport team.
