Computationally, company is an order higher than humans in that it contains "structures" designed to generate revenue, and these "structures" consists of physical things (ranging from items in a physical store to an office space to entire factory, etc) as well as none-physical things (e.g. productivity optimisation across a 'team' of people who had worked together for a long peroid of time, trust in the supply chain, etc). When a company dissolves, many of these "structures" will be gone. In general there are many costs to reconstruct these "structures" after they are gone.
It will be amazing if
- it's cheaper to construct these structures designed to generate revenue (and we already see this in tech-driven stuff, which was how the notion of start-up emerged from the 70s)
- people are motiviated and are willing to overcome the hardship (as well as, in many cases, unconfortable feelings) to learn to construct these structures or to learn things that will help (e.g. programming, etc)
Unfortunately, most of these structures are currently still expensive (thanks to this, start-ups and techs are in general over-hyped [1]). And most people prefer consuming stuff mindlessly than learning things. Mindfulness is the key.
Therefore I'm extremely grateful that we as a civilisation are finlly entering the first phrase of the psychedelic renaissance. Psychedelic would always have a net positive impact to society at large as they force people to come to terms with reality as well as their very own phsyical existence, and be more mindful about the qualia of this world.
[1]: not necessarily a bad thing as they can eventually flatten all these cost structures
And intriguingly, one can also say that the phenomena of start-up is perhaps a branching-out of 60s' hippie movement (partially inspired by books such as The Whole Earth Catalog which is not only spiritual-ish but leans more towards pragmatism) where instead of going all anti-capitalism and trying to be self-sustainable from the ground-up and detach itself from the economy (which eventually always ran into problems cuz then it became a micro-economy itself, which was the very thing it tried to transcend), start-ups aims to be self-sustainable in the existing econcomy while detaching itself from the cooperate cultures.
