A cynical, unproductive form of insatiable social vortex is kayfabe.
Kayfabe is separation from the ground truth and leaning into the emergent but incorrect social reality within the organization.
The social process is emergent and kayfabe, lofted above the ground truth.
It will absorb all the energy it can get because it is totalizing.
It hollows out the thing it is hosted in and makes it impossible to survive on its own.
It will push past the limit where the organization can survive the surrounding context.
The organization now looks strong (look how hard everyone is working!) but is extremely brittle, in a supercritical state.
All it takes is the right inciting incident to kick off a cascading collapse.
The right inciting incident can be very minor; a random gust of wind.
Larger organizations are more likely to get caught up in the insatiable kayfabe vortex because each individual's actions have less direct impact on the external world.
Imagine a photon being released from the middle of the sun, ping ponging for surprisingly long times before it escapes out of the sun, which can take 100,000 years or more!
When an individual's actions cause direct impact (or lack of impact) in the external world, that's when there's a correcting signal that can bring the kayfabe back to earth.
But in large organizations, it doesn't happen as often due the ping-ponging photon phenomenon.
Also, organizations can only get large if they are producing a lot of value to have the excess resources to spend on getting large, so they can go on for longer while the basic machine prints money, even if they are now consumed by kayfabe and marching toward death.
