Actually it sounds pretty good. For one thing, the `good' positions (I
guess that basically means autonomous R&D for a lot of us) would have
more turnover and more minds would offer fresh perspectives on
problems. `Bad' positions would also inevitably get visited by `good'
minds, and probably ways would be found to improve those positions.
Sicne change would be the norm for the upper socio-economic classes as
well, it would be made less risky and painful.
