    Self-organization in the corporate world sounds like a recipe for bullies controlling everyone. Even if it isn't, there's not much worse than corporate assholes co-opting science for their self serving social interests (even though they're totally beyond ego, dude).

FWIW, this is pretty close to Valve's company design, and from what I've heard, most employees there are pretty happy with the workplace. Though I think it does take a lot of pruning of potential hires to find people who work well in that model.
