640. The Problem With Modern Optimization | ENDURE BEYOND

What if the real problem is not inefficiency, but optimizing things that were never worthy in the first place?In Episode 640, Darius examines the modern obsession with optimization and argues that efficiency is only admirable after the aim has been judged worthy.
