And then they would clock people, and then they would try and get them to increase their speeds. And so this guy wrote this book called The Scientific Management. something like that. And it was very influential on Stalin. Oh, really? Yes. But workers hated it. Sure. For obvious reasons, right? You're getting enough efficiency out of me. Exactly.

And that was this whole thing was that you could increase the productivity of the average worker by a factor of two or more if you followed these methods, but it would squeeze the workers to the breaking point. So they didn't like it, but it became popular until unions came and pushed back.

But this whole wave was still around in the form of industrial engineering, which is actually the department I'm in at Berkeley, which used to do these kind of studies where it was sort of how do you arrange your office to be the most efficient or the assembly line to be most efficient for workers and now machines?

Yeah, so energy efficient. So they could lower the amount of electricity it used, which is really undeniably a good thing. That's good for the environment and everything else. Yeah. Okay, so you're growing up in Bethlehem. Yeah. Your mom and dad didn't teach in your childhood? No, he was working at the research lab. Actually, she did. She taught at the elementary school. We were very close.

She was a great mom. I was lucky. It was a good town to grow up in, but a little rough and tumble because you had to fight.

Yes. So it's interesting you say the pride thing. I didn't know about that, but the pecking order was all about fighting. And kids would call you out and say, I'll see you after school. And you had to do it. Everyone would go watch.

Another fight would break out. I mean, I had both my front teeth knocked out. You did? In what grade? Like 10th grade. In school? Okay, so the story is that I was at a party and a girl asked me to take her home because she was having a fight with her boyfriend. Oh, okay. And I was being a nice guy, I thought.

And I drove her and then I didn't even know who her boyfriend, but she said it was Eddie, who was a very tough guy. Perfect name for him. Exactly. And I was like, oh, no, that's not good. I did not want to cross Eddie. And so next thing I know, we had gone over. I dropped her at her friends and the doorbell rings. And it was Eddie. I came out and Eddie just cocked me right in the mouth.
