5 days agoAbsolutely. The ones who’ve resigned mentally are fine within their positions. The people with all the business connections and references will be the ones to grab the money and simply start something new. It happened at my company. I was only 3 years in, so it wasn’t enough money for me to quit. But loads of good people left the company.
I’m fairly certain that TikTok plays an instrumental role in the whole brainwashing machinery. The content renders its users incapable of dealing with content that takes longer than 20s to consume. Fact checking however, requires a lot more effort. I just had a fight with my brother. He once was a man that read a shit ton of books and had the patience to sit through epic movies and was culturally adequately informed. Now his 56 year old ass sits on the couch, swiping through one TikTok video after the other and blindly repeats all the “felt truths”. When confronted with evidence showing the contrary, he simply rejects those sources as left propaganda. He doesn’t even put in an ounce of effort. The man is totally lost and I’m fucking sad as hell about it. He’s pretty much the only family I have, other than my wife and daughter. This is in Germany by the way. We’re not too far away from the situation in the US.
