Ultimately to understand a thing is to do the thing. And to not understand (which is ok!) is to trust others to, proxy measures or not. Agreed that the future of work is in a precarious place: doing less and trusting more only works up to a point.

`simulacrum` is a great word, gotta add that to my vocabulary.

The idea of Simulacrum comes from Baudrillard. His essay "Simulation and Simulacra" is highly recommended for understanding what is so strange about the modern economy.

Fun fact: the Wachowskis made this required reading for most of the actors in The Matrix
