"efficiency" is the mortal enemy of "humanity"

"efficiency" is the mortal enemy of  "humanity"

To be more efficient in accomplishing a task requires the elimination of behavior and activity that defines us as being most human.  A good example would be the assembly line production model.  It is very efficient and economical, but the humans are reduced to machines and forced to behave like machines.  There is no philosophy, religion, art, music, learning, debate, meditation, contemplation, or speculation on the assembly line.  There is only machine like sub-human work.
