Episode 330 - Stop Texting My Daughter
/Joel is filling in for Buck this week, and we're talking about some stuff that may get us removed from Youtube, mostly...
- Democracy
- Unprofessional Development
We live in a world of dolts, dummies, and the easily programmed. It is due to this democracy has failed us, even you reading this now. Do you research what you're voting for? Of course not, it's not worth you time. To wade through the cesspool of media obfuscation to get to the truth of a candidate or issue is a full time job in its own. Except instead of getting a paycheck you just walk around with the cognitive dissonance of simultaneously being a smug elitist better than everyone else, but also you're a loser because you're always fighting for the next battle.
Conferences are supposed to be a time for you to network with people in your industry, brush up on the latest developments, and hopefully leave a little better than you arrived. Not anymore, now you just get around and powwow about how miserable your life is because all of the victim points you've accrued. New technology, unimportant, updates to standards and practices, unnecessary, a cash bar every 30 feet, indispensable.
All that plus Fish News, AI manipulating real humans, and someone leaves us a vaguely threatening voicemail.
