How to Allocate Your Resources

[@ZagrosŞêxbizin]

James Lindsay on his own is the 20% who does 80% of the work, I mean the 1% who does 99% of the work.

[@psyskeptic9979]

Jesus Christ, what a load of cultic crap. And I actually value James.

[@ZagrosŞêxbizin]

@@psyskeptic9979 Is there anyone else doing the actual heavy work? There now individuals coming out like Logan Lancing, Michael Young, Classic Liberal etc, but none has done the amount of reading and counter-Wokecraft that James has done.

James is famous, and he is working hard as well. It is admirable. Billions are doing actual heavy work. @@ZagrosŞêxbizin

80/20 rule is also great for logistics and business management, and it even applies to demographics. 20% should be dedicated to who buys your product, in which it will equal 80% of your revenue, if you go for the 80% which are one time customers/non customers, it will equal 20% of your revenue. All too often by falling for the woke agenda, these corpos are alienating the 20% for an audience that doesn't exist, which kills their 80%. Imagine owning a snowblower company, the 20% in this case would be selling to areas where it snows, the 80% would be where it doesn't snow, by going woke a company is basically saying to hell with the 20% let's go for the 80%! Obviously then what happens is sales are either good one time or never happen at all cuz the 80% have no need/want for it. All these companies have to do is remember who their audience is, but that's easier said than done with the woke cult ruling over everything...

[@dustinkdye]

The square root principle might be more accurate than the Pareto Principle. Rather than an 80/20 split, the split is more like 50% of the work is done by a square root of the total number of people. If an organization has 4 employees, 2 employees do 50% of the work, and the other 2 do the other 50%, but if the organization has 3600 employees, 60 employees do 50% of the work, and 3,540 do the other 50%. The principles are similar though.

[@tear728]

Just left a similar comment. As a software engineer, square root is definitely a closer number than 20%

The flip side would be that cancelling a few top performers seems like a scary effective way to hamper the entire group effort

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I'm really curious -- how? I mean, unless you're leading a team of people who are all working together to de-clutter a house, how does this work with just one or two people?

[@mippim8765]

@@zxyatiywariii8 ....well, i guess since you put it that way.. ... one should allocate 80 percent to the right things first in order to establish a pattern to make sense of other things next. ...and then see if the order of its execution was fit for the resources involved to do so... ...the more important stuff, vs the lesser things can be determined as you go. . ...it is just a principle after all.. ...not a blue-print..

[@tim2muntu954]

If you're spending most of your time on the unproductive 80%, you're doing DEI - second-rating. That is the function of DEI, the revenge of the second rate through the cancelling of the first rate - the program for the levelling of the site before "Building Back Better".

It is necessary as a lithmus test that constituents be forced to mouth nonsense. The more absurd, the better. That is how the principled, independent and the competent are weeded out for the more reliable careerist second raters.

If you don't know about SR, you don't much about energy or its management.

[@SteveSpurrell]

The Pareto principle is not an effective way to assess the value of your colleagues. Consider a sports team. If 20% of players score 80% of the goals, does that mean the other 80% are less valuable? Obviously not. Furthermore, if the coach dedicates 80% of his effort to training the strikers, the the team will suffer: they will rarely if ever give the striker a chance to shoot, and will get scored on constantly. Applying the Pareto principle to team management means recognising that most of the necessary, valuable contributions are not directly "productive".

[@ericmcmenimon5187]

Poor analogy. Still the principle applies if you zoom out a little, otherwise you wouldn't have all star teams.

[@psyskeptic9979]

I agree, James is assuming this is a law rather than an interesting idea that is especially attractive to high status people.

[@HawkeyeVoid]

It still holds true with sports. Perhaps there are specific skills that the other players are better at, and the coach can focus on maximizing those skills. You don’t want a weak team, but objectively speaking you want to develop your best players to use their skills and clutch up. Then you have some energy in reserve to cultivate the other players to play off of them. My brother’s HS team does this and they’re looking like the best in region, possibly state.

One thing that drives mainstream people to woke is their distaste for the people who rile against woke the most. You could be saying the most profound things as an anti-wokist, but if you're seen as an outcast, a bigot or even have the faint hint of ulterior motives then not of what you say will be picked up.

[@psyskeptic9979]

I'm open to the idea of Pareto principle, but James here is taking it far too far. When he is talking about the top 4% he is making something up that was not in the original idea. I think what James may be hoping for is to donate to him because he is in the top 4%.

[@Protocurity]

Well, this video is utterly useless. "Find the guys who do good stuff, and focus on them." Given this is all about the culture war, you haven't answered the most important question here, which is how to recognize which person is doing good work in something so abstract that there's no way to really measure effectiveness or success.
