1. Knowledge = Power [sic]
2. Time = Money [sic ditto]
3. Power = Work/Time [Science]
Substitute 1. into 3. to give:
4. Knowledge = Work/Time
Substituting 2. into 4. demonstrates:
5. Knowledge = Work/Money
Re-arranging 5. leads to the conclusion that
6. Money = Work/Knowledge
Hence we derive and/or demonstrate the universal nature of organisational stupidity. I was thinking of using this in opening my book on the convergent evolution towards insanity of large organisations. But insanity, at least in a legal sense, is to do with a person's capacity to be responsible for their actions in the context of a loss of contact with reality. Stupidity is a feature of the insanity of large organisations but I'm wondering if it is a sufficiently important feature or emergent property of the insanity to merit inclusion in the introduction? Answers on a postcard (or electronic equivalent) please...
