I just discovered this quote by Rob Paterson on the FASTforward blog, I love it.
"Most institutions are like zombies.......they have thoughts. Superficially, they look human. They can move around, talk and eat but they are not alive. They have no feedback mechanisms. They are closed systems. They have exceptionally limited ability to sense what is going on inside and outside. Like all closed systems, they tend towards entropy. They are not human. They are a chimera."
The word Chimera is an interesting one, I had never heard of it, I'm going to keep you guessing.....
