There is also a tendency as institutions become more bureaucratic they become risk averse. That is the kiss of death. We need to take risks to remain in the game. So the entire nexus of safety first and political correctness tends to have a chilling effect.

That reminds me of a conversation between Jordan Peterson and Camille Paglia. Paglia said that the academy became extremely bureaucratic during the 70s and they've been so ever since. I think she even referred to the situation on college campuses as "fascist!"
