    It reminds me of how universities have become these bloated administration heavy institutions with a higher ratio of bureaucratic staff to professors than ever before.

    There was an economist, I think William Lazonick, that said the natural aim of organizations was not profit, but actually growth. So it didn’t matter if it was a non profit, a government, or a for profit company, management always seems to be focused on growing the organization. If there was only a way we could program it in for that not to happen ik some cases.
