This is at number two on the front page, I'm wondering how much this is driven by a specific interest in this story, or whether other people are having the same, probably childish emotional reaction that I am, an almost dumbfounded disbelief that a major institution is not charging headlong towards death cult dystopia. A public institution has acted seemingly for public good. Regardless of whether its driven as much by shame as by duty and altruism, - I'm deeply confused about how to think about this.
Is this a trick? Sleight of hand to distract, to funnel the non wealthy towards a presentation of the tax code that obscures the existence of incantations to the elder gods known only to operating thetan level VIII accountants?
Is this a bellwether of positive change, or a an eddy current in the river Styx?
Is this just normal institutional behavior?
Is Ragnarök 2020 just a delusional end-of-days narrative I've bought into?
I can't believe we've made it this far - Y2k didn't kick off, I was sure at least Agile would be dead by now, am I 'dude you\'re overthinking this'?
Am I in a distributed doomsday cult?
oh, also - happy new year.
