    Great concept I just learned from @EricRWeinstein — Embedded Growth Obligation: how fast a structure has to grow in order to maintain its honest positions. As in, "Many of our institutions have unsustainable EGOs." I'm surprised this concept doesn't have wider currency.

        It’s a profound concept with important implications.

        It doesn’t have wider currency because so many people’s hopes and plans rely on it being not true.

        My paraphrasing of this is “we colonized space until we covered the whole planet. Then we started colonizing time. But the future that CAN be mined has by now BEEN mined out...”

        It’s also interesting to see it outside the organizations he lists. To me (this is NOT a popular position...) Intel has started doing this in spades. Every announcement over the past three years has extended the promises forward in time, to the extent that

        This is an interesting way to look at possible future unsustainability, but without being useful to make predictions, it feels like it's just worry about the future wrapped up in academic language.

        I'm still not sure I understand what EGO actually is. An org has to grow in order to meet its people's expectations of personal advancement? But that sounds backwards: an org grows to meet external demands, and people hop on top of that, obtaining personal advancement.

        Its growth isn't run by internal pressures, or at least not exclusively. At some point, growth-space is exhausted, and yes, then the people are "stuck". But then they move to another org, or remain at the same org and just... don't advance anymore.
