Strategy is the domain of the execs. They must be as general as possible and justify their existence. They are the glue, the connectors, the people who know who to talk to in order to get things done. Tactics are the realm of the workers. They must be capable, dependable, honest and fair. They must diligently realize the goals of the strategic plan using whatever means they deem fit to address the tactical situation at hand. The more freedom they have, the more effective they are. These two forces are pitted in contest under capitalism. Under socialism, they are orthogonal to one another. Not a pyramid, but a cylinder on its side, growing from its base on one end to its zenith at the other. They are allies. They are similar, but distinct. Their roles may overlap at times, or perhaps not if they should not desire it. A person should be able to work wherever they like. They are the best judges of their capabilities. There are only so many resources, and if we vote on their distribution we'll give enough for everyone to share. And then we'll run out. Unless, of course, we demand sustainablity. Long-term, and ignoring profit but rather seeking to build capability. That is the only way to [ramp/snowball/scale]. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/539 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── *strategic and tactical goals ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/540 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── Your mouth likes to eat Your belly likes to fill Your muscles enjoy exercise (and stretches!) Your mind likes to think. Why is it gross to think of your colon enjoying to poop? Does it prefer beans, because they keep things moving? Why is it gross to think of your under-arms sweating? Does it prefer not to smell, or does it wish there were people that liked it without deodorant? Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers feel the face of your lover as you pull them close? Or is that for the brain, the thoughts processing of all things mundane, the stuff which feels somehow more "you" than the rest of you. How absurd. You are you. You enjoy icecream, you enjoy the beach. You enjoy the stars, and you enjoy the laughter around you. There is nothing that separates you from you, for you are your only champion. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/541 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── China excels at housing. America excels at tech. Why not let china control our housing market, and we control their tech industry? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ |
