  Check out the New Yorker article[1] about how the series Silicon Valley nails Silicon Valley. My favourite paragraph: >Teller ended the meeting by standing up in a huff, but his attempt at a dramatic exit was marred by the fact that he was wearing Rollerblades. He wobbled to the door in silence. “Then there was this awkward moment of him fumbling with his I.D. badge, trying to get the door to open,” Kemper said. “It felt like it lasted an hour. We were all trying not to laugh. Even while it was happening, I knew we were all thinking the same thing: Can we use this?” In the end, the joke was deemed “too hacky to use on the show.” [1] http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-silicon-valley-nails-silicon-valley http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/how-silicon-va...

  He's not like Belson's spiritual adviser if that's what you mean. He was just an engineer, but he gave talks about meditation to anyone who wanted to go. Google employees can give themselves whatever title they like, and give talks (or invite people to come and give talks!) on any subject they like. That's why there's so many weird talks at Google - it just takes one person to agree to it.
