The provided text is an excerpt from a socio-political philosophy blog titled "Philosophics," featuring an article by Bry Willis called "The Prison of Process." This commentary critiques bureaucratic workflows and automated processes, specifically using the author's frustrating experience with KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) where an automated system incorrectly flagged the spine text of a book proof. The author argues that modern, codified processes become self-justifying systems that replace informed human judgment with rigid compliance, reflecting a contemporary critique of rationality which the author equates with the perceived failings of the Enlightenment era. The piece concludes that workflows, intended as aids, ultimately become "prisons" that demand submission and prioritise their own existence over human utility.https://philosophics.blog/2025/11/03/the-prison-of-process/
