Latest Miraculous Escalation (Worm/Miraculous Ladybug). Sound the trumpet!
RE: Update Thread 43: ... I got nothin'
Our vibrations are getting sloppy. But why? Is there no communication in this forum? Have we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

...okay, it's not that bad. But it did take all day for anyone to mention that there's a new A Thing of Vikings chapter up, despite the fact that most of us should by now have (a) AO3 accounts (b) ATOV set as subscribed. Anyhoo...

Nationbuilding: How People Move, Talk, Think, Organize, & Structure Themselves, 1888, Amsterdam University Press' Wrote:…another factor in the effectiveness of both decision-making and law enforcement is entrenched interests and their associated corruptive influence. 
These originate from a simple principle: In any large formal organization of people, there will generally be two types of people of consequence—those who are motivated to help fulfill the purposes of that organization and those who work for the structure and institutional power of that organization.  Over time, the latter group comes to dominate the management structure of the organization, due to their interests and personal direction, combined with the fact that the people who actively wish to fulfill the purpose of the organization will be reluctant to give up those direct duties.  This is not always a bad thing—a truly gifted organizer can have a multiplicative effect on the efforts of the organization—but in general, the end result will be that the people invested in the institutional power of the organization will gain control of it and dictate the functions of it.  And it is rare that such individuals will give up control over the resulting fiefdoms, even if their refusal to relinquish control ends up damaging the actual effectiveness and goal-fulfillment of the organization that they command. 
So doctors who wish to heal will go on with the treatment of patients—and above them will be doctors who are less concerned about the patients, but more concerned with the health of their hospital's finances (and possibly their own).  And government officials who wish to aid with the welfare of their communities will be examining roads and homes and food and other infrastructure, but their superiors will be more concerned with the power of their offices. 
If left alone long enough, such systems often breed literal dynasties of institutionalists through nepotism—indeed, we get the word nepotism from the Latin word nepōs, for nephew, noting how the Popes of the Catholic Church would elevate their nephews and other blood relatives to high offices in the Church's bureaucracy, including that of cardinal—who then, in turn, would elect the next Pope from among their number, perpetuating the system.  Meanwhile, far below them in the hierarchy were the humble parish priests, administering to their flocks. 
This tendency of all organized systems of management must be actively guarded against in order to diminish corruptive effects on the efficacy and speed of decision making, as such individuals often form bottlenecks in the decision-making process, either through incompetence or through willful obstinacy. Considerations of law enforcement are also paramount, as being in a position of power often gives them significant chances for corruption and self-dealing, which are often acted upon.


At the Dragon Mail station in Cairo, Fishwings takes on cargo and a passenger. In Constantinople, Sigurd supervises work on the Hypsikrates' temporary broodery. On the great steppes, Drago enlightens the Kagan on how most trade works. In Nidaros, Ruffnut and the other healers of St. Olaf's Hospital have a spirited discussion. Back in Constantinople, Sigurd arrives at Sophia's party. In Lixbuna, Fishwings and her passenger take salt and talk business with Basir the alchemist. On Berk, Esther bat Rivkah helps Bladewit assure the rest of Dror ben Ezra, then takes on other duties.

Agreed.  I understand why the author did it, but it really rubs me wrong.  I'm a big fan of ATOV, but I haven't read any of the new material because I simply don't want to have to register.
