Idiocracy is going to hit within our lifetime at this rate.
Big organizations treat employees like replaceable cogs in the machine. Which for creative or highly skilled endeavors is really dumb. They kill the goose that lays the golden eggs (or allow it to be killed) over and over either because they don't realize it lays golden eggs, because they think they can easily find another such goose, or because they think they were responsible for its creation and therefore they can create another one. Arguably this is the primary advantage that we have on our side: an ability and flexibility to treat people as valuable parts of a whole.
