“Toppling statues and meme magic are the hallmarks of an ever-more “as if” world: symbols have power, and mental attention is power.” - Sarah Perry

“In Michael Spence's job-market signalling model, (potential) employees send a signal about their ability level to the employer by acquiring education credentials. The informational value of the credential comes from the fact that the employer believes the credential is positively correlated with having greater ability and difficult for low ability employees to obtain. Thus the credential enables the employer to reliably distinguish low ability workers from high ability workers.”

What happens when this system breaks down?

The right signals are being sent, but the outcomes are not requisite.

Results may vary.

“The error message need not mention the name of the function that signals the error; it is assumed that the debugger will make this information available.”

What to do when the assumptions fail and the debugger is broken?

Navigating the day to day moments of life can become a burden.

The projections are looking up.

All forecasts are rosy.

The gap between the perceived potential and the achieved reality is an abyss.

Learn something new the said, it will be fun they said.

Unfollow. Mute. Block. Hide. Delete.

The pain is much too real.

The Key To The Labyrinth Is To Overcome.

What more do you want from me? What more is it that I am to do?

The tragedy is.

We all posture for position as we position our posture.
We update our crypto portfolios like a coach updates a roster.
We do shadow work for shadow pay,
All hoping to hit it big someday.

We gorge on routine
As we are stuck in this repetition.
Always craving novelty,
And a brand new addition.

Stay tuned.
Stay interesting.
Stay Strange.

When I was younger, I never understood why companies spent so much money telling others about the good things they were doing.
