  • This is all very well but it fails to point out that many of these trendy 'forward thinking' companies are now giving their staff a wholly manufactured and fake (propagandized, if you like) purpose in order to motivate them.

    In reality these concepts and this psychology has been known and exploited by a few for a loooooog time!

  • This result should actually be fairly obvious to most students of economics. It's not a ground breaking statement to say people "maximize purpose not profit." Look at any simple microeconomics statement pertaining to an individual. It maximizes Utility (which conveniently includes profit, purpose, and many other factors,) not just profit. I do like the video though, it explains things clearly and conveys that point. The whiteboard thing is also pretty cool.
