| Abstraksi | : | Productivity has become a norm in modem society. It is used to judge the worth of individuals, programs, institutions, and whole societies. To challenge this norm is a modern heresy. This paper makes such a heretical challenge. The problem is that linearpresumptions have become so embedded in our language and practices that we take them for granted. Linearity presumes that wholes canbe broken down into parts. The Good, the worth of a whole, is presumed to be the sum of its goods, the worth of its parts. If the worldwere linear, the humor of a joke, the whole, could be determined by adding up the humor content of its parts, the words. Clearly, this isabsurd. This paper reasons that this linear absurdity applies to much of what we do in the name of productivity. A nonmathematical wayof describing nonlinear behaviors in human affairs is presented. Engineering education is examined as an illustration of general phenom-ena in human affairs that are hidden by linear presumptions. If such phenomena are common in human affairs, then our linear habits ofthought and practice are seriously deficient, productivity as a norm is too often misguided, and common notions of responsibility areinsufficient to meet our ethical ideals. |
