Nailed it. I wouldn't even want to work in a startup based on this, but I definitely don't want to live in an adhocratic society. Never thought I'd see the world in this state.

This perfectly described what it was like living in Georgia before I bailed on the U.S. and moved to Portugal "...everyone would be fending for themselves, and the very institutions we rely on for the smooth functioning of society would become self-loathing. Bureaucracies would seek to abolish themselves."

Nice framing. Useful for understanding the state we find ourselves in. Don't believe anything like this was planned, just worked out that way, but it probably wouldn't matter even if it was.
