Efficiency can be a form of ignorance without considering how parts life flows in your life and other people's... Are people happy? Can that be efficient like a machine and should it be since we're humans?
i.e. Efficiency using people starts roots of stronger problems... and avoids the harmonising and reasoning in exchange for 'efficiency'- which maybe shouldn't be exchanged or not so hard (like it is today in my opinion where you're opinion doesn't even count or barely is registered - you're just a tax income / pot of gold for someone else to pick)
If you have the STEM-only type of 'efficiency' then that type of efficiency concept is often exactly a type of fascism / ignorance that values highly the end-product and *not* the who / what / where / why / how it was produced... no time for that! (...and no skill or intention by rulers or extensions funded (STEM) end up copying and not really learning to change the pyramid-like structure. OBEY!
So the other things like being accountable for other people's 'happiness'... oh no not efficient.
Anyway here's hoping you get that...
For TL;DR / reactionary people something for you... imagine German engineering / Nazism spectrum (so innocent or not types of efficiency) means that do things without the people stuff along the way... is totally creating unhappy people and not far from fascism / obey the boss even if they have no idea and don't care / financially based dog-bodies.
For most people on these topics *I think* people not seeing this they are thinking instantly:
** Let's not talk about it- that's totally inefficient! **
Sorry Germans / Sorry Nazis / Sorry STEM - you're regularly too good at what you do **AND** not doing the talking about it so humanity is loosing time and those level are not being upped,
(and Sorry the World - all cultures suffer from this though some cultures more than others, that's why it's called *cultures* which have known patterns though there are many who can think outside of box of efficiency...)
