Better ways of thinking, feeling, and acting—around problems of meaning and meaninglessness; self and society; ethics, purpose, and value.

I think the lack of utter honesty is possibly the primary failing of Careerists. It certainly is in energy storage work
Yes, exactly! I came across the idea of careerists as dishonest "dead nodes" from this essay: https://thestoryofscience.blogspot.com/?m=0 . A couple quotes below. There are many problems with it, and David's essay is much better. But it was still extremely useful for me to read.pic.twitter.com/rqNG3EYEzg
I’ll read it! My unpolished guess was it comes from the community scaling such that honor/shame social norms no longer bite.
Also, I respect the hell out of him for it, but this @jamesheathers essay perfectly encapsulates the downside of utter honestyhttps://medium.com/@jamesheathers/sometimes-progress-is-in-extremity-d309d061e0ff …
That is a brutal and brilliant bit of writing. I hope @jamesheathers’s life is a little less dire atm, and that his increasing infamy will open new opportunities for lucrative thuggery
Less dire, yes. But, increasingly, very senior and well respected people are bringing me serious problems. At some time in the last 3-6 months, something cracked. My usual tip these days has become 'I am Professor X, Head of Y. My field is plagued by Z.'
Very interesting. Congratulations, I guess! The world is now holding you personally responsible for fixing all of science :) Lesser humans would quail at the task, but I am confident that lashings of thrash metal and caffeine will see you through
