Creating Systems

We are an organisation, within another organsition within another organisation, and so it goes.
And we love to create oranisations...maybe we are in the image of the One, maybe we were created in HIS likeness (excuse me ladies ..).
 
But we have definitely not evolved as much as the one whose likeness we inherited.
The fundamental difference is he created evolving, selg organising systems and let them run.
 
We, humans still focus on creating elements of the system, and try to evolve it.
 
A plane difference, that is what it is.

Why Mumbai will never be free from traffic

2004 : Regular commute on the western express highway (which was barely a total of 3-4 lanes) all the way to Seepz, sometimes via Aarey Colony/JVLR.

Think about Rs. 1 to 2 crore lost on a daily basis. In this context, think of the cycle of increasing taxi-auto fares -> increasing taxi/auto permits -> increasing fa...

An alternative name for a Monopoly !!  No, not a monopoly in the orthodox sense of an enterprise, but the monopoly of a particular dominant design. Why do we have only electricity and no other 'city' after that. A random google search (what else ) tells me humanity has known electricity for over 2500 years, analyzed and have been capable of generating it for almost 300 years. But isn't someone trying to discover an alternate form of powering us up instead of just alternate forms of electricity generation methods !! Dont we loose a lot in transformation ?? What about wheels. Sure it maybe 1 of the most important discoveries / inventions ever, but doesnt anyone think of changing the fundamentals of transport. Arent we advanced enough to stop having wheels as the dominant design. What about planes that jump up like a frog, instead of the runway, before t...
