      "This system" referring to the 1.7 year avg career in big tech, weaponizing KPI's + analytics to shake down the workforce, profit-max corporations paying employees as little as possible to retain them, forcing overwork to retain job, shaming those who use vacation days.. etc.

      "This system" that rewards "diversity", whatever that is; instead of achievement, discipline + skill. I have a friend who went to an Ivy undergrad, worked at top banks, now had to double-down for an MBA so that he has a shot at "Diversity Recruiting", yeah.. thats a real thing..

      This problem is so bad, that as a former geopolitical analyst, I view it as a legitimate, systematic threat to the US. The American dream will not die quietly.. it is the foundation of US society, culture, politics, and economics.

      It would be easy to critique this as "defeatist" or "negative"; that isn't my intention. Just some thoughts after listening to Thiel today.. Genuinely interested in responses + advice. 🙏 (RT's help for response) @RubinReport @EricRWeinstein @MimeticValue @z3nblack

      Thiel fails to grasp that the tracking WORKED for him. No Sullcrom, no Peter Thiel. https://twitter.com/JordanTSack/status/1039950756982312960 …

      For context: I went to a top-tier uni, worked at a start up (brutally cut-throat), saved enough $ and hit tech investments, now I trade derivatives independently, but see no path towards getting back into the workforce on acceptable terms to me.

      Second half of @timoreilly's book has a decent idea of where we went wrong: We have a runaway optimizer. It's not paperclips, but shareholder value. Or: over-financialization.

      big waves like this are probably a mix of many macro trends. Also at work: Baby boom made enough voters to bilk a society (book: "A generation of sociopaths") All we have left is a gimmick economy: https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26756 …

      Does it leave a bad taste in your mouth, like it does mine, after sharing/listening to the older generation of the system, speak about how the system is broken? After they've extracted as much money from it as possible?

          I think it’s up to us collectively to write the ending. That’s also the point of my book. We aren’t done yet, and we can still build a better world for all. We’d better get busy, though!

          Just read your Wikipedia. Wow, what a journey.. Any advice for mid 20s trying to find a work/life balance in this system? Asking for a friend.
