Cynical narcissists making stuff like this up for book deals is gutwrenching. This didn't happen. Googling brings up nothing of the double murder or the christmas day suicide in Balcome. Tired of living in the narcissism engine and the people it rewards.

correction: that ought to be "constantly tearing things down without ever having assembled a team of trend consultants and trained artisans to create something based upon your loose direction"

well there is less of an internal market really, more like edicts. The Sears example raised attempted to marketise things internally and was apparently disastrous.

oh yes I can imagine it's quite embattled, in much the way that foundational level philosophy can and should be. It's good to be particular, but also interpersonally strenuous!

altho actually more accurately he is likely a monarchist, same central planning benefits, hierarchies etc. Chinese model gets more interesting there as there isn't much distance between communist state party and monarchy now with Xi Jinping's indefinite term of stay.

lol someone could really make an interesting case about Thiel as a communist under this thesis, as he also spends a bunch of time decrying a lack of progress is the sciences vs trivial market demand for useless apps. State central planning is far more effective at that.

I've listened to Mirowski lectures where he argues in a similar vein about markets being like the unruly child that the parents (central planners) have to keep redirecting to function. Also interesting to think about wrt the Chinese model.

exactly. What emerges, that is a really novel perspective, is that to a degree what we are seeing are authoritarian planned economies run under the guise of the free market, which paradoxically is quick to dismiss the viability of said planning. Capitalism eating itself.
