RE: https://mastodon.social/@RuthMalan/116472750857579019 Wow. "An organization composed of optimally performing parts will itself likely perform suboptimally, particularly where the interactions between parts carry the behavior of the whole." This explains why so many academic departments are horrible. Hiring based solely on candidate performance and never thinking about how they fit into the team. https://harishsnotebook.com/2026/03/21/the-shape-that-does-not-return/
