There's a "soft skills shortage" amongst young people because state and capital don't want you to be proficient at conflict resolution, resource management, risk management, forecasting, task scheduling and networking

They want you dependant on the system to do all that for you, put simply they want obedient workers that can push the buttons in their cubicle and not well rounded socially proficient people capable of organizing a revolution

Soft-Skills-Kurse gelten oft als sichere Investition in die eigene #Karriere. Eine neue deutsche Studie findet dafür jedoch erstaunlich wenig Belege.

Untersucht wurden 5’439 Vollzeitbeschäftigte, davon 549 mit arbeitgeberfinanzierter Weiterbildung in Bereichen wie #Kommunikation, Kooperation oder #Konfliktmanagement. Bis zu drei Jahre später zeigten sich keine statistisch signifikanten Effekte auf Lohn, Führungsverantwortung, Zahl unterstellter Mitarbeitender oder Arbeitszufriedenheit.

Wichtig ist die Einordnung: Die Studie zeigt nicht, dass Soft-Skills-Trainings wirkungslos sind. Gemessen wurden individuelle Karriereeffekte, nicht Lerngewinn, Verhalten im Arbeitsalltag oder betrieblicher Nutzen. Zudem stammen die Daten aus Deutschland; andere Studien kommen teils zu abweichenden Ergebnissen.

It's a Tool
It's a Person
It's a Hypervigilance Problem

The tech industry's insistence on distinguishing between "soft skills" — caring for people — and "hard skills" — engineering rigor — is a reflection of the Cybernetics split itself. First-order thinking framed as "hard skills." Second-order thinking framed as "soft skills." This distinction, based on felt sense alone, does not hold under epistemic pressure. Neither does it within the causality-driven epistemology of the tech industry itself, in which only measurable impact is real, or as Silicon Valley likes to put it: #MoveFastAndBreakThings

Imagine Margaret Hamilton had built NASA's Apollo 11 flight computer with that mindset. History would remember a failed moon landing and dead astronauts. "Hard skills" and "soft skills" are two sides of the same coin. The care is the code and the code is the care. Hamilton — the woman who coined the term "software engineering" — understood this. Silicon Valley chose to forget.

We're watching the wine glass break in real time. 🍷
