A quote that’s from the 1960s...

Posted by ST Draft Analyst (aka David) May 11 '20, 19:34

synergy is the only word in our language meaning behavior of wholes unpredicted by behavior of their parts ... since my experimental interrogation of more than one hundred audiences all around the world has shown that less than one in three hundred university students has ever heard of the word synergy, and since it is the only word that has that meaning it is obvious that the world has not thought there are any behaviors of whole systems unpredictable by their parts. This is partially the consequence of over-specialization and of leaving the business of the whole to ... the feudal kings or local politicians.”“

Buying a ticket to an event where you're subject to experimental interrogation is bad enough, but the final insult is the Ticketmaster surcharge. -- nm - Max May 11, 19:53
