It’s a scam, y’all.

Yup. If we’re going to romanticise non-modern life, we should probably look to the hunter gatherer San people of South Africa. They are considered one of the most peaceful cultures and hardly had any previous records of conflict (except in the 1970s and '80s but that’s a long story).

This is what Franz Kafka means in some of his stories. The tyranny of bureaucracy. A structure and organisation so complex, it’s oppressing the individual, both physically and mentally.

I forgot what the term is, but there is the idea that using jargon heavily is a way to exclude the masses from discussions and information.

But yeah, this elitism, even in the business world, is a flex saying “I know better and I am better than you. Therefore, I am superior. I can control you.” I would say that my industry is not nearly as abused with jargons, as in not mincing words to say nothing of value, but my current company and work is definitely Kafkaesque.

the amount of jargon that was used just left me yearning to go tend a field instead.

Haha then you should watch Office Space! Personally, I know of someone who is in IT and a son of a farmer. He said that he’d rather be a farmer like his dad, in his home country of India, if money is not an issue. Me, I’d rather be a polymath if money is not an issue.

I just found an appropriate community. I will repost it there.

Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they’re old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.
