@pluralistic I love your writings but, would it be possible for you to set the threads (/2 and onwards) as “unlisted” instead of “public”? They are a bit noisy.

@pluralistic I feel like my secondary education treated Taylor as legit; or, at the very least, uncritically reported what the stated goal of Taylorism was without ever pointing out that it didn’t pan out. The bezzle is probably still alive for Taylorism 1.0 in places.
