The system is not working for humans but with humans. While I'm interested in real identities with an interesting life who give you a by their talks a nice feeling. Even the conversations are never ending, always doing things and enjoy that. Those people failed in the system but they learn everyday and be happy. Also my experience and of course I can talk about the weather but not every time because it take's energie. Just as phones do...

I experience this conflict more and more in my job lately. The beurocracy is not designed to trust people. How to shift work local is the challenge.

You’re right. Bureaucracy isn’t built on trust, it’s built on control.

As for shifting things more local, I think it’s less complicated than it sounds. It starts with your own actions: doing things more directly, not always accepting the limits of the system, and actually taking steps outside of it where you can. Otherwise it just stays talk.
