These people, like Musk, think laying on a couch with a pen in your hand pondering about random shit to be hard work. That’s where they come up with this kind of BS. That and being from a higher cast and never having worked a single honest day in his life and making a fortune out of corruption and networking.
Hierarchies are bad for honest people. Honest people take work and meritocracy seriously and try to follow them.
But hierarchies are never about meritocracy. Hierarchies are always built by people who have connived their way up. Those who have worked honestly don’t build hierarchies, at worst they are pressed to do that by outside pressure.
In any case, the market economy I’m in favor of doesn’t include big businesses. As in “at all”. Big cooperatives at the maximum.
For the obvious reason that the bigger a business is, the less it’s about market and the more it’s about power and hierarchy. Big businesses are the way human nature with jungle law and such fights markets and rules. By making the space untouched by market mechanisms and rules into something continuous inside one subject - the company.
It’s the same as siloed services in the Internet. A thousand and one web forums are free, despite open despotism of webmasters in each and every one of those. A three or two big social platforms are not, despite their owners trying their best for their policies to appear impartial and professional and depersonalized.
And I guess that’s where I can agree that the “market economy status quo” has been broken by such evolution showing itself both IRL and in the Web. You can’t make something like 1999 Web and expect it to not turn into 2024 Web. And you also can’t make a functional market economy old-style and expect it to not degrade into what we have.
I like solutions touching upon the root of the problem, so - in my opinion personal responsibility (one can even say sovereignty, pun intended) is key. You don’t lose responsibility for your decision just because you’ve paid someone else or have been paid by someone else. You are both responsible, since it’s a common endeavor. The responsibility is not divided, it’s copied. Also personal responsibility excludes companies as subjects of the law. Only a person can have responsibility, property, make decisions.
That and fully protected free speech and right to self-defense and transparency of the state. I’m not talking about forcing others to give you platform, I’m talking about shadow bans, about state secrets not being something you’d care about if you hadn’t signed anything, about state official’s decisions being only contestable in court, something like that. Anything forcing you to keep your head down.
And sitting on the couch with their dicks in their hands is “hard work” for them, but it’s just jerking off for the rest of us. These assholes consider themselves working when they sleep, because them being rested is “good for the business”.

OK, done dreaming.

Uh, I think you mean “meditation” and “mindfulness”
