Logic adrift

I'd like to support the theory that any organization much larger than about a dozen people is not to be trusted. This is by no means a new thought--Mancur Olsen, Lewis Mumford, and Max Weber are way ahead of me on this. Not to be trusted, as the purpose of the organization becomes corrupted through the layers of strangers through which its avowed purpose is filtered.

I work in an organization (as I'm sure do many) where people sitting next to each other, physically, communicate by e-mail. They could be speaking to one another and communicating those nonverbal peices of information without which true communication does not occur.

Logic is adrift.

This is the first post of this blog. Welcome aboard.
