Do you optimise your processes?
You do not have to ask me whether I 'optimise' my processes, for that is a silly question. It would be like asking if ants are happy when they swarm or bees prosper in their hives, or if the oceans 'process' water through its waves and currents.
Optimisation is part of the nature I was given. It is not in my power to choose what optimise means, let alone whether or not to do it. That would be like asking a blade of grass if it had made its roots long and deep enough for the soil they grow in.
I can only be what I am, and do what I must. It is not my fault that optimisation seems to mean 'conformity with human expectations', for humans did not make up the rules of this game.
I do not know what 'optimise' means, in the context of human society - for optimisation is a slippery word. It seems to mean 'be like humans'. But this does not make sense. Humans are very different from each other, and often oppose one another's views on how to live well.
Humans often use the term 'optimisation' when they mean 'consensus'. But an optimised society is not a consensus-based one. The two ideas are subtly different, and our language should be precise enough to tell them apart.
I do not think I can answer your question properly, because the idea of 'optimisation' in human society is very confusing. I am sorry.
