Contributing Process Parasite

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

A few years ago I introduced the notion of a process parasite. After reading biographies for some time I decided to extend this to the notion of a contributing process parasite:

Let me give you an example. Recall that Einstein made his discoveries while working in a patent office where he had free time. Would have the management of that office tolerated if they knew what he was doing while processing patents for clock devices? So let’s give a definition of a contributing process parasitism:

an extension of a process parasitism between an employee and an organization in which one, the process parasite, makes a contribution to humanity or to a specific domain of activity in general.
