So I have been working the last several weeks trying to finalize a very large-scale project that I recently had funded. And one of the absolutely mind-melting things that I've had to go through is dealing with this multiple layers of administrative bureaucracy that kind of surrounds this process and I understand bureaucracies meant to control things and to create a system of accountability and quality. Assurance. You know, I I get this. The challenge that we're facing is that our bureaucratic systems are so convoluted and at times so conflict-oriented and and in some ways just in conflict with each with itself that achieving the end goal which in this case should simply be an acting and and and implementing a worthwhile impactful project becomes. Not just arduous and not just painful but it becomes a laborious and exhausting so that by the time you get to the starting line, you're already beat down and in it the whole project or the work that you're you're undertaking is is the mindset that you have going into this is just to get it done. And I think we have to kind of reinvent our bureaucratic systems and ask ourselves really start to question are they effectively doing what we expect them to do.Or are they in fact just kind of designed in a way that they become layer upon layer upon layer of administration. So cutting through that in a way that can effectively not only become more efficient but become actually more satisfying for all the human beings who are involved. I think that's going to be one of the critical challenges that we face in the future. You know, we've we've come out of an age late 20th century and then even in the 19th century where we built these admin. Istrative systems not only in government but in in industry and in civil society and throughout all of the daily life we've built these layers and layers of administration in order to help organize society, but I think the next stage of our societal development really has to find ways of becoming a little bit more agile becoming a little bit more network kind of getting a getting rid of some of the hierarchies that exist that become bottlenecks and finding new ways. Leading to each other finding new ways of restoring trust finding new ways of ensuring accountability transparency and all the other things that we know are fixtures and our necessary for modern life.
