There should be secret laws you have to unlock by doing unfathomably inhumane things.

“You chased a homeless person in their own car off your completely unutilized property for no reason other than malice. You’ve been sentenced to 12 hours of fighting a flock of geese naked while locked in a middle school gym.”

If you’ve ever interviewed at Google, you know why this is happening. They hire people who are as much like the people they already employ as possible, to the point that employees don’t know who they’re interviewing or even for what. The person getting hired is pre-screened for all sorts of “desirable traits” before being matched with a team. The people who succeeded there all think the same, and so they all end up having the same ideas, and the number of novel ideas nose dives.

IBM has an internal motto that they really push when you get hired there: “Treasure wild ducks”. Beyond the regular buzz word bingo of 'think different ’ and ‘move fast break things’ it means “when someone else has a crazy idea that might just work, fucking listen to them”, and it’s what’s kept them in business for literally a century. I don’t think Google has that fundamental non-self-centered DNA. Every product they’ve ever put out was a result of their intellectual monoculture and the hyper competitive mire of sameness it breeds.

Dealers: We inflated the ever living shit out of the ALREADY inflated MSRP on all our EV’s during a global recession and now no one wants to buy any of them!!

Manufacturer: The customers have spoken, EV’s are dead.

Imagine scrolling back in the Slack chat 50 years to find that one thing someone said about how the chip bypass worked.
