This is quite the hasty generalization. 70 million people live in the American Midwest. Do you really think that your coworker is the first person from the Midwest you’ve worked with? Jack Dorsey and Sam Altman are from St. Louis. John Carmack is from Kansas. Larry Page is from Michigan.
It sounds to me like you don’t like your coworker so you started to make a generalization about millions of people. Pretty silly thing to do, if you ask me.
- TameAntelope 5y agoI didn't say all midwesterners are like my coworker, I said the midwestern trait of "hard worker" that's referenced explicitly in the article has a logical flaw that I'm noticing in my coworker. Though it does sound like I've struck a nerve! Not my intention, I'm just growing more suspicious of people who highly value "hard work" as a result of this logical issue with this value that I've noticed.
