@julien Crazy stuff. But, entrenched businesses hate to get disrupted. Easier to use bureacracy than improve service.

If the majority of referees like your research, you can be certain that you are doing boring work. To push forward ideas that will matter to the world, you and I may as well accept that we are going to have to upset people and crawl through the trenches of muddy carping and explosive criticism. All referees – and I suppose that must include me – are subconsciously looking for manuscripts that play back to them ideas they already find familiar and palatable, and ones that lend support to their own prior research. That is bad and sad. However, it also happens to be human."

is it human?
The simple truth is that the scholar who is tired of referees is tired of life. Journal reviewers are going to keep on being incoherent, making fundamental mistakes, being childlike and gratuitous, forcing us to cite their irrelevant articles, thinking that after 20 minutes they understand our work better than we do after 20 months, leaving out the crucial references they claim have already shown the finding, and all the rest.
Between you and me, the only good referee reports I ever saw were written by me and by – oh, wait, no: there isn’t anyone else. This is how we all feel, and in some ways it is surprising how well a voluntary system of refereeing, based on a form of honour system, actually works.

Paul Mason (@paulmasonnews)
8/7/15 6:53 AM
Here's @gilliantett review of #Postcapitalism on.ft.com/1OULIbt
Mason’s vision for the future, in other words, is a world where the government provides the framework to enable individuals to flourish but state functions are handed over to citizens. It is a place where people are secure — and equal — enough to use the efficiencies unleashed by automation to pursue worthy goals, such as volunteering to write Wikipedia pages.
It sounds utopian. And Mason does not attempt to describe in any detail exactly how western society might achieve this new postcapitalist world. Nor does he address the issue that tends to preoccupy many unions and leftwing groups today, namely the fact that technology is currently turning many workers into the equivalent of insecure digital sharecroppers, rather than collaborative creative spirits. Just look at the current fights around Uber, and the lack of security for workers there

www.digitaltonto.com/2015/4-things-you-should-know-about-networked-organizations 
So what really needs to change is not how we describe our organizations, but the role of leaders within them.  Whereas before, it was the role of managers to direct work, in a connected age we need to instill passion and purpose around a shared mission.  The networking, if encouraged and not inhibited, will take care of itself.
– Greg
perhaps instill... until we are all detoxed.. but passion/purpose begs to come from within as well.. ie:already there.. uncover rather than instill

I will always remember that the call to action initiating the movement was organic – that there was no organizing committee, no charismatic leader, no church group or school club that led us to the streets. It is powerful to remember that the movement began as everyday people came out of their homes and refused to be scared into silence by the police.

As much as this fight is about systems and structures, it is also a fight about hearts and minds. We will work hard to teach people that the safety of communities is not predicated on the presence of police – that safety is a more expansive notion than policing. Safety is strong schools, access to jobs, workforce development and access to healthcare, among many other things.
and/or .. beyond schools.. jobs...
And just as a path through a mountain is made passable not just by removing the stone but by supporting the mountain from crumbling back in on itself, we know that no barrier will ever truly be removed until a corresponding structure, system or policy has positively taken its place
indeed.
and let's make sure it's deep/simple/open enough for all of us.. as one.
otherwise.. it won't work. one world.

Inspiring indeed. This may be one of the greatest calls to action in a speech I've ever come across. The courage to posit this notion in a forum like Aspen at the risk of being shunned by a community so many aspire to join or connect with...stunning.
It leaves me wondering...when one of the 67 richest people in the world reads the statistic that "the 67 richest people have as much or more wealth than the bottom 3.5 billion combined", what is the first thought and/or feeling that comes to you?

I spend a lot of time with the CEOs and scientists at all these companies discussing how to build a business around an innovative idea and take a product to market. If government research budgets open up the pipeline of innovation, not only will I expand my investments, but I believe other investors would join me in taking these risks.

market..?
Some subsidies for deploying renewable energy are also very inefficient, creating big incentives to install solar panels where it’s often not sunny or wind turbines where it’s not windy. We should be looking for ways to reduce these subsidies and invest the savings in the basic R&D that will help solve the problem

In my view, innovation is essential to human progress.

This is completely brilliant. Read. Now. twitter.com/farnamstreet/s…
what can be more miserable than the fate of a reading public of this kind, that feels always impelled to read the latest writings of extremely commonplace authors who write for money only, and therefore exist in numbers?
Haruki Murakami makes the argument that “If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”
would be a good thing to buy books if one could also buy the time to read them; but one usually confuses the purchase of books with the acquisition of their contents. To desire that a man should retain everything he has ever read, is the same as wishing him to retain in his stomach all that he has ever eaten. He has been bodily nourished on what he has eaten, and mentally on what he has read, and through them become what he is
Every one has aims, but very few have anything approaching a system of thought.
