This is a great take. We need more people that are willing and able to jump in and wreck new bullshit machines as they crop up in diverse industries. They can even keep their boastful grandstanding attitude as compensation.
- fragmede 3y agoNo thanks. We do need people to wreck the bullshit machines, but they don't have to be total asshats. That's not inherent to being that smart.
- infogulch 3y agoWhat if the "wants to wreck bullshit machines" trait often co-occurrs with the "grandstanding attitude" trait? You'd be unnecessarily restricting the applicant pool because you don't like how they express themselves, which seems pretty dumb given that we're being flooded by bullshit machines.
- fragmede 3y agoWe're surrounded by assholes. It's up to you which one you'd rather deal with, bullshit machines or assholes. I'd rather we have neither, but between the two I'd rather bullshit machines because then I don't have to deal with assholes. You are free to choose dealing with assholes and fewer bullshit machines though.
