Industrial
- Complicated design - companies will intentionally or unintentionally design things that are not easy to build - so that it is difficult for others to copy. If non-intentional, that is design ignorance - as simplicity (of build and use) is the genius of design. If it is intentional, that is evil. Recognizing this dynamic is an opportunity from the OSE perspective: by simplifying a design, we can build something more robust and valuable, thus gaining an advantage that facilitates widespread replication.
- Design for obsolescence - this is clear waste that diverts energy from human evolution by preoccupying producers and users with running on the treadmill
