I just published an article on why efficiency itself leads to synergy and why context is essential when creating a design:

Glad you mention contentment - I was looking at the section headers and starting to think "oh no it's just another similar STEM / maths / German viewpoint of efficiency which is weighted on numbers-based thinking (i.e. people don't matter or have any measurable comeback about things) and just building without even those involved in mind...
Making endless tools and gadgets for the sake of keeping busy

So it's good and I will read it again also.

===================
THE REST IS EXTRA / ADDITIONAL
- SO IT'S A GAMBLE TO READ ON !
===================
I'm currently saying / asking STEM about this without much reply which is quite telling in itself as I haven't received any big counter punches from 100's who might see it.

And anyway I think it's not their natural form of thinking... so unless I mention a new STEM tool thing or efficient machine-like thing so then probably it's not that important for them as not job-related so it's skipped... - who cares if it can be instantly weaponised or put into component like gun components? Not their fault right? Well kinda no...

As time goes on I think everything is becoming measurably even-more 'efficient' and fuelling the sterilising and technocratic life faster using STEM which also includes not talking about it in the work of STEM environment itself. Just hired hands, another kind of soldier / builder for the empire Command & Conquer style.. (it's a game using different units for the faction / empire)

Want a tank or code, fine... Wanna talk about ethics that's not the words STEM! I did suggest conciousness like STEMC because STEM is perhaps become or always was archaic-ignorant / oldskool brute-force clever.

Being paid by government might be also the biggest reason to all of this but why bite the hand that feeds you?

So to end my thing about all people / specifically STEM being paid / kept up as an extensions of Government / military (and STEM applied to every other company and sector within itself) then means a typical is what I might get:

" So we should build a solution or another system right?'
Even if I say 'building' or more 'systems' is actually the problem...

"So because you don't have better suggestion then you must be wrong"

"GUNS or any tool are made neutrally SO IT'S HOW YOU USE THE TOOL nothing to do with me"

>_<

without realising things are *ONLY* funded by people / govs / banks who don't care and have real strong proven agendas for war or just not peace in mind and profit

Working to install some consciousness in 'living' and being is going to be hard like changing sport and going from machines to people improvement.

Most stem or engineers are like "not my fault"

SUMMARY
Efficiency can be a form of ignorance without considering how parts life flows in your life and other people's... and the Government box you / anyone works inside... that needs to be respected and worked OUT...

i.e. 'Efficiency' using people starts roots of stronger problems...

STEM types of 'Efficiency' avoids the harmonising and reasoning in and exchanges it for mechanical 'efficiency'- where you're opinion or ethics doesn't even count (other than starve yourself) and you're just registered as tax income / GDP % / pot of gold for someone else to pick.

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 and unsolvable! **

>_< of course the above is self-perpetuating if it doesn't try...

@freeschool
I'd add that this is very interesting and ironical to see how that notion of efficiency without context nor seek of contentment eventually create a world where most solutions are not actually very efficient and tend to cause as many problems as they solve.
