为什么值得读
- 揭示组织制度中各类繁琐规则与疤痕的产生机制
- 深刻反思充斥职场的无意义琐事与自动化荒诞
- 探讨官僚制下个体的冷漠、疏离与参与困境
“对无休止的规则、条例和官僚体系的渴望究竟从何而来？我们为何要花费如此多的时间来填写表格？它真的一种国家暴力的暗号吗？为了回答这些问题，人类学家 David Graeber……追溯了当今我们与官僚体制之间奇特而出人意料的联系，并揭示了它如何在潜移默化中塑造我们的生活”——封套文案。

……鲍莫尔成本病。它似乎解释了成本上涨的现象，但我搞不懂它的机理，也不知道该怎么应对。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol%27s_cost_disease 另外这本书把我彻底震撼到了：David Graeber 的《The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy》http://amzn.to/2mi169U
…cost disease. It seems to explain rising costs, but I don't understand the mechanism, or what to do about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumol%27s_cost_disease And this book blew my mind: "The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy" by David Graeber http://amzn.to/2mi169U
建议你去读读 David Graeber（愿他安息）写的《The Utopia of Rules》。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Utopia_of_Rules https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-the-ut... 他的核心论点是，我们打造了一个庞大的官僚机构，……
May I suggest you read "The Utopia of Rules" by David Graeber (may he rest in peace). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Utopia_of_Rules https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/david-graeber-the-ut... He argues that we've built a giant bureaucracy,…
Graeber 真是个天才，我强烈推荐他的书：《The Utopia of Rules》。我们做的很多工作其实也属于毫无意义的狗屁工作那一类。我们写软件去帮别人自动化那些本来就没必要存在的事。我们写的几乎每一行代码……
Graeber is brilliant and I highly recommend his book: The Utopia of Rules. Much of what we do falls into the pointless jobs category too. We write software to help people automate things that don't need to be done in the first place. Almost every piece of software we write…
……美好的生活。谁都负担不起参与社区建设或地方政治的时间精力。Noam Chomsky 写过不少关于冷漠和疏离的精彩文章。我强烈推荐 David Graeber 的《The Utopia of Rules》。虽然它不是直接讲社会冷漠的，但息息相关。
…good life. Nobody can afford to get involved in their community, or with local politics. Noam Chomsky has written a number of interesting articles about apathy and alienation. I highly recommend The Utopia of Rules by David Graeber. Not directly about apathy in society, but related.
……给关键服务配置一个新客户？没问题。这是你的 token，2 天后过期。——向 Bill Joy、Jini、JXTA 等前辈致敬，感谢他们把 lease（租约）概念拔高到了 OSI 栈之上。向 David Graeber 的《The Utopia of Rules》致敬，它精准描述了组织内的伤痕/结痂是如何形成的。我还不太确定 ZeroTrust Networking（零信任网络）是否把这种模型或隐喻进一步延伸了。
…provision a new customer of a critical service? Sure. Here's your token. It expires in 2 days. -- Hat tip to Bill Joy, Jini, JXTA, etc for lifting the lease notion up the OSI stack. Hat tip to The Utopia of Rules by David Graeber for describing how organizational scars/scabs come to be. I'm not yet sure how, if ZeroTrust Networking extends this model, metaphor.
你这完全是在把没说过的话硬塞给我，既然这样，我也不知道还能为推进讨论贡献什么了。我的论点和 David Graeber 在《Utopia of Rules》里提出的是一致的，你真应该去读一读。
You're putting words in my mouth at this point so I don't know what else I can contribute to this discussion to move it forward. I share the same argument David Graeber was making in Utopia of Rules, you should give it a read.
