On top of that, there’s little bigger-than-you ideas floating around. It feels very brave-new-worldish. Even in mainstream stuff like climate warming stuff. Most people just party and pay lip service. Few people do destructive stuff that makes little sense. And very few people actually do anything worthwhile. And looks like there’s little in the movement itself guiding people towards productive paths.

The way we have been ranking/sorting people to give them "better" jobs with more responsibility and better pay is completely broken, open to cheating/abuse/gaming. The result is that we promoted a large cohort of people with little to no merit. Now since it was all fake in the first place they cannot contribute meaningfully and the ones who could have are laughing their ass doing things for themselves instead of a meritless system. This is just like before most revolutions where somehow a group of people found a way to enslave the others to extract most of the value they produce while doing nothing of value themselves and even worse have behaviors/ideas/domination fetish that makes everything works less efficiently than it should...

Uncle Ted. That's all I'm going to say.
