Really interesting ideas IMO. I have thought about this how you might found a company, you bring in the accountants, the lawyers, the everything that comes in with that, and then who is even really driving the ship anymore? The scale of complexity going on is not something you can fit in your or even 10 peoples heads. Yet people act like they are in control of these processes they have delegated to countless people who are each trudging off with their own sensibilities and optimizations and paradigms. It is no different to how a body works where specific cells have a specific identity and role to play in the wider organism, functioning autonomously bound by inputs and outputs that the "mind in charge" has no concept of.
And it makes it scary too. Can we really even stop the machine that is capitalism wreaking havoc on our environment? We have essentially lit a wildfire here and believe we are in full control of its spread. The incentives lead to our outcomes and people are concerning themselves with putting bandaids on the outcomes and not adjusting the incentives that have lead to the inevitable.
Modern corps are shaped after countries, they are based on constitutions (articles of incorporation/bylaws). It's the whole three branch system launched off the founding event.

I'm sorry I offended you! However I do think it is highly relevant as there is this prevailing theory that the free market will bail us out of any ills and will bring forth necessary scientific advancement as soon as they are needed. It is that sentiment that I was pushing back against, as I don't believe we have the control that we really believe we do for these ideas to pencil out so cleanly as they are considered.
