”To increase profit we need to make more money”
This was said by a C-level suite at my work. Yeah, no shit Sherlock.
“because of inflation, costs are rising”
Same when they interview coaches after a game.
“What do you think went wrong, and what can you do to improve it”
“Well, I think mainly our problem was, we didn’t score more points than the opposing team. That was a major contributing factor to our loss. I think in the future, we need to focus more on scoring more points, and not allowing the opposing team to score more points than us.”
I know Scott Adams is not someone to be promoted for his personal views, but Dilbert is so much a reflection of reality it’s unreal.
I mean, if “making money” = revenue, then increasing revenue, assuming you’re making a profit, will increase profits…but you could also work on your costs and increase profits while keeping revenue constant
That is how you create an illusion of being important and busy. These gentlemen are really skilled.
Reminds of doctors on about idiopathic ailments, like they’ve the answer. … Also likely partly why so much ill-health everywhere.

Progress is moving forwards to the target destination. If you take a wrong turn in the fork you might still be moving forward but not progressing.
Claude Lévi-Strauss theorised that human progress actually happens without a clear goal and doesn’t follow a straight line, but rather goes in leaps, changing direction…
Surely these alpha brains were discussing this!
I wasn’t expecting that from Levi Strauss of all people.
Martin Luther King Jr’s similar quote is that the moral arc may not be straight, but it bends towards justice. I’m far from being an optimist, but i think humanity generally progresses to better moral values. The hiccups and backlash we see are typically from people who are resistant to changes because they are more comfortable with what they grew up to be familiar in, even if it’s wrong.
humanity generally progresses to better moral values
Because those with bad morals just don’t last as long. Rebellion and corruption bring them down sooner or later.
One could argue that’s regression and moving backwards.
Return to monkey is progress.
Moves the cup of coffee forward, looks at you, expecting a response
