16: Building a Being Mode Based Society, Part 3: Decentralization & Ending Bureaucracy

Published: Feb. 1, 2021, 5:35 p.m.

In Episode 16, we dig into the meat of more ways we can move to a being-mode based society, by two means Fromm mentions in To Have or To Be, Chapter 9: Decentralization and Ending Bureaucracy. He says we must replace it with Humanistic Management, and that in a bureaucracy, it is impossible for all members to be participating in a genuine and authentic way. This is why if we are to move to a being-mode based society, where all individuals are valued and heard in the decision making process of their communities, then bureaucracy must be replaced with a more humanistic management style, which values individuals as the humans they are instead of the things bureaucracy transforms us into. Also, think about this: Most likely, the majority of the frustration you face in getting things done with corporations and government agencies are due to bureaucracy. We'd all be better off with less of it!  We also discuss some of Lacey's recent adventures abroad, and some big things ahead for April!
