NancyLebovitz comments on The Centre for Applied Rationality: a year later from a (somewhat) outside perspective

[NancyLebovitz]

Thanks.

I think the problem is at least as much bad software as bad hardware, though. I believe the reason people don’t try to figure out easy ways to do things is that they’ve absorbed an idea that it’s more important to prove their virtue by doing hard things than to succeed, and I suspect that idea gets taught by people in authority who’d rather that subordinates not have initiative.
