You may not be a fan, but that's not going to stop me.
I have spent years having to endure the horseshit from places like Theranos, WeWork, and the entire cryptocurrency industry. I knew it was horseshit. The people spouting it could have known it was horseshit if they had bothered, but they did what was in their short-term interests without regard to harm to others.
I am going to enjoy seeing them get whatever paltry and belated comeuppance that karma visits upon them. If they ever suffer as much pain as they've inflicted, I might change my tune, so feel free to come back to me then. But in the meantime, I will enjoy whatever sense of justice served I can extract.
- arbol 4y agoHow exactly have you had to endure anything from these companies other than voluntarily reading about them?
- TeMPOraL 4y agoWas it voluntarily, or was it the fraudsters polluting the news channels (such as this site) with their horseshit as a result/part of the hype they built around itself?
- wpietri 4y agoFor sure. The whole "yet you participate in society" [1] retort doesn't impress me. Is my participation in society, in my profession, in my industry voluntary? In the sense that I have chosen not to fuck off to a remote cabin and live via backbreaking subsistence agriculture, sure. But I don't think I should have to cede my life, both professional and intellectual, every time fraudsters come around.
