It seems to me that "I work for Google" is the new "I'm a member of Mensa" or "I went to Harvard."

  Only if their intention is to talk about how useless Mensa is and to break the fetishization of being a member of this club.

    And working for Google hasn't been fetishized?
    • uoaei 7y ago
      It is. That's the point. Read again.

    I'd probably read an article by a ex member of mensa that wrote that. Arguing vociferously about how that "wasn't such a big deal" would make me wonder what ax you had to grind with people who talk shit about mensa.

      Exactly. I'm a little surprised at the size of the immediate and vicious reaction. There's more that people aren't saying besides "Google isn't that special".
