You know, I always found Mike judge to probably be the most prescient of all of the science fiction authors.

In Office Space, Idiocracy, and most relevant here in Silicon Valley; he accurately, and very precisely not only forecasts, but deconstructs the reasoning, and vapid lack of core philosophy behind each of the real life narratives he’s parodying.

That serious people still consider Silicon Valley as some kind of thing to aspire to is horrifying. This despite repeated examples of predictably base incompetence, lack of maturity and quite frankly avaricious opportunism as the kernel on which SV lies.

Or real life is just messy but most people don’t know it because they willfully ignore it and just keep their head down living their boring middle class life.

Judge is no profit he just communicated what the rest of us already knew.

Maybe most things are not messy, and only thr messy things are exiting enough for you to not call them ‘boring middle class lives’?

No, that’s how I know you’ve never been an executive. It’s constantly messy and personal AF. It’s just the workers below who don’t see it and cash in their checks. You live a stable life because you are shielded from the chaos to keep you productive.

You have a hilariously significant misunderstanding of what my work looks like. Maybe my standards for what constitutes ‘normal’ are just skewed.

Though it’s fair to say I’ve never been an executive.
