Software / Markets are eating the world — except in the sectors where they aren’t. Those industries are the most problematic: Healthcare. Education. Construction. Software / Markets aren’t eating those industries. Who is? Tribalism. Bureaucracy.https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/941110583339859968?s=20 …

When markets eat the world, it’s the closest thing to a meritocracy. For the most part, Whoever performs, wins. When Tribalism eats the world, it’s about who you know, who you can charm (read: bribe), and who owes you favors. H/t

The irony here is that we need both Markets and Tribes to play their roles--and nothing else. Certain things work at certain scales, & break down at others. e.g. “At Fed level, libertarian; state, Republican; local, Democrat; family/friends, socialist."https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1150172977578700800?s=20 …

@Meaningness differentiates between communal and systemic modes. Communal mode (tribe living) is what we’re wired for--it's what makes us happy. Systematic mode (capitalism) is what helps us feed a billion people and helps us live until we’re 80.https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1158236129180692480?s=20 …Prikaži ovu nit -
Communal mode works best for camping trip. Everyone does equal work, gets equal resources, and has special and unique relationships with each person. You can run a camping trip this way, but you can’t run a complex society like that.https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1158364339763650560?s=20 …

Systemic mode works when designing a global society. It doesn’t bring you meaning or happiness directly (and may even threaten your traditional notion of it), but it brings you GDP, which extends life span & feeds billions of people.https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1158365186165813248?s=20 …

The fear is that you have Communal Mode eating the macro world — nothing would get done. The opposite fear is that if you have systematic mode eating the micro world -- our sense of belonging and meaning would collapse. To some extent, that's happening:https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg/status/1133150939697704960?s=20 …

We need tribes to eat micro world (communities), and markets to eat the macro world (economy) . You can’t run an economy prioritizing belonging. The goal of the economy is to provide material abundance to all. Running it like a Kibbutz won't work.

Vice versa: The goal of a community is to provide the feelings of belonging, security, and shared meaning we found in hunter gatherer bands. You can’t run your communities & relationships like Bridgewater. While it works for an economy, it can hurt your personal relationships

This is the great challenge of our time: Benefitting from the growth the systematic mode brings while also benefiting from the happiness choiceness mode brings. Creating a new equilibrium.

To summarize, a potential (simplified) solution: Keep the market-ism out of our tribes, and the tribalism out of our markets.
