So I'm convinced that bureaucratic solutions to our problems are not really solutions, they're just creating bigger problems down the line. But, how do I convince people of that when they've thought of such a bureaucratic solution and I don't have an alternative better solution? As an example, the CREDIT system of writing detailed tables of who did what in a paper. This adds more work and stress into our lives, and puts more power in the hands of the data owners and surveillance companies (RELX etc), but how else do we stop all the biases that this system is trying to address? I feel like there's a comprehensive world view that gives a better way, but that's such a hard sell when people - understandably - feel like small tweaks to the current system are more likely to work. I'd like to say that if a solution will make things worse, start by not doing it. But that's all to easy to see as an argument for keeping things as they are, which is not acceptable. I'm interested in how other people fighting for change who don't believe in bureaucratic solutions approach this issue.
