Determinedly the scholar again turned a corner in the library. No time to rest now. RELEVANT DATA could be here. One after another he picked volumes of a conference proceedings series from the shelf; he held their hard covers with his knuckles white, quickly eyeing through index after index. RELEVANT DATA could be anywhere…

Horse girl book but it's about a middle-aged man and his forklift.

Mike quietly approached the little yellow propane-powered Hyster that sat in a dark corner of the warehouse. "Hey there," he said. "Foreman said we could work together. Would you like that?" He noticed a lot of dings and scratches, but the tires were solid, the mast and forks straight and true. "He said you didn't have a name, though. Everyone needs a name, I think. Could I give you a name?" He gently patted the A-pillar. "How about Ellie? Is it okay if I call you Ellie?

"Easy, girl," said Mike. "This place is full of blind corners. We have to go slow through here, and stop at all the doorways. That's how we keep people safe." The purr of Ellie's engine dropped as she decelerated for a corner. "And always let them know you're coming." He tapped the horn and she beeped cheerfully. Mike smiled. He knew they were going to make a great team.

funny how pushing "lots of people are massively incompetent, it's a miracle our entire society hasn't collapsed yet" far enough actually really yields "actually so many people are massively incompetent that clearly it actually mostly doesn't matter at all for keeping society rolling". institutional antifragility is real

think the thing here is that cultural evolution is evolution, and as such is only required to deliver results, vs. has no obligation to produce societies where it would be apparent to us as their members what really is and isn't important for keeping the lights on the show rolling. even if we do in fact want to at least try that (and will probably be often incompetent at it)
