Obedience to Acapella, CAMEL/5
Lean start-ups, price-wars, and I.P.-based violence #fail
ACAPELLA
It is the logos, word.
It is the instrument.
It is a song.
The Construction
The (now) late Clayton Christensen constructed the threefold picture of successful technologies as engaging in “division-of-labour-driven” Sustaining innovation, “least-cost-driven” Efficiency innovation or “Jobs-to-done-driven” Disruptive innovation. Eliyahu Goldratt Applied the Toyoda Production System model in technology businesses to achieve increased sales “in spite” of economic or environmental conditions. Peter Thiel uncovered a truisM that technology is “doing more with less”. Rene Girard provided a technological resolution to the “fakE” insurance of “DOING WHAT’S FAMILIAR!!!”. Nicolas Taleb broke the empiricist’s mouLd that insists on relying on past data, rather than relying on “inventiveness” to deal with future unknowns.
A CAMEL is what every technology is. As Steve Jobs noticed, humans only “know” what they want after you show it to them. We technologists have Cantillon though, to thank, especially when considering the “capitalisation” of every new technology.
We may not, however, confuse what’s necessary (the natural environment), with what’s sufficient (technology inventions).
The Corrosion Problem
The corrosion problem has introduced a new dynamic in the public perception of new technologies concerning their impact on the environment and also in their relation to organic systems (including plants, animals and humans).
Global finance players/banks, business systems and legal agreements are now being used to account for, control and manage the pace of technology innovation, production and manufacturing…
The problem with these newly suggested “eco-friendly” constructions is that they fail to account for the old problem of how to advance both human-civilization and natural eco-systems. It is an old-age approach that previously launched the entire Western civilization into the dark-middle-ages and the related nonsensical “intellectualism”, mysticism and abject poverty. The answer, once-again, of “what lies ahead” is in technological advancement.
