The Vision

Article Overview: Companies should make everyone rich, not just the owners.

The Vision



I want my companies to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams, and smarter - literally I want my organizations to make you go to bed with more neurons than you had at the beginning of the day. Great ideas have to be responsible for a significant percentage of daily neurological growth. To make them responsible, they have to be designed as conduits for the raw energy of the Universe, and they cannot be one-dimensional. I want my companies to make you rich beyond your wildest dreams, and smarter - literally I want my organizations to make you go to bed with more neurons than you had at the beginning of the day. Great ideas have to be responsible for a significant percentage of daily neurological growth. To make them responsible, they have to be designed as conduits for the raw energy of the Universe, and they cannot be one-dimensional. Processes can have a rhythm, but strategy must utilize a compounded process. Anything that is done once should be redundantly reenforced. Information is priceless. Its destruction is senseless. Legally, a company that keeps precise records is a company that will cut its way through the legal forest. Privacy is an illusion and transparency is not a glass house but rather an iron fortress against unchecked internal corruption.

Any 20th Century capitalist that is telling you their business is focused on the right goals is probably lying. 20th (and early 21st) Century companies all live under the illusion of deception as a method of "proper" or "accepted" or "zeitgeist" businesses. This era of business, like the Government (and perhaps, because of it), seems to be centered around the privacy illusion. Privacy stifles innovation - don't get be wrong, working in secret has value - but all of the results should be made available. There should be a release day without the secrecy afterward. Decompilers and reverse engineering are only the obscure ways transparency exists now in the corporation. It's a waste of effort to hide anything but the development machines - why bother creating bureaucracy or investing in that type of security? Every call, email meeting should be indexed and retreivable upon request. Tell your employees its all to be considered public information. It will make them better people.
