I think in the worlld as a whole, there is an assumption about rationality, which I think is misplaced.

Human beings what ever their inteligence and educational status have emotions, ethics and morality,, we are not like “Spok ?” off Star Trek or Robots. We also have different perspectives because of our different life experiences.

Hopefully . all of us us respond to inputs and stimuli differently, pehaps like the bell corve or some other dstribution. (now theres a topic for research)

To me the world would be a very frightening place if every body behaved rationally with out emotion, ethics or morality and responded in the same way.

Yes the way we humans are makes things a lot more complicated.

We in all walks of life need to continously adapt, and elvolve our ideas and thoughts.

As some one who works in manufacturing and design. my frustration here is that we seem to stuck with a series of Scientifc Management ideas from early in the last Century and that these have dominated and perhaps hindered the way we think ever since. I am not agianst scientific Management, just think there is a lot more to it.

My education from the late 1970′s at Engineering School in Nottingham, UK was that there was a number of other “Schools of Management Philosophy” that contained some really interesting and effective insights which we have ignored at our peril.

I really appreciate you guys trying to raise the level of debate. It is truly great reading and inspiring

Kind Regards
