100% with you here. Especially the ones preaching 'optimizing' your personal life by getting rid of any capacity beyond what you use in your daily life. Once you peel back the glossy cover they almost always, in real terms, translate to "save money by mooching off your friends' equipment and work space".
Sorry if my tone was a little strong, that was not my intention at all. I saw where you said you were thinking from a limited scope and decided to use it as a thought exercise :) Then I went off on a tangent about cost cutting XD
As for the rest - I am completely, and 100% over lean philosophy/training/gurus. That has been a major focus in higher education in recent years.
And it has just led to top-down, money based decisions instead of student focused discussions and choices.
I am with you, I think we are just removing safety from areas that may not be appropriate to remove them from.
