One of my big predictions, and I'll lay money on this: people running events, like wrestling or music, will need to hire state certified HR managers and therapists to stay at the events to monitor behavior and offer targeted interventions. So will small businesses
This huge jobs creation program will turn these folks into a free floating class of state-mandated behavior ("hall") monitors. This will ensure compliance with developing speech codes and evolving social norms. It will ensure a "house style" of speech even at small businesses
Keeping someone on staff to do this permanently is out of reach for most small businesses, but this cost can be socialized by requiring all people operating in the marketplace to receive HR and therapeutic inspections. This in turn creates a lot of jobs for grad students
The grad students will be in charge of enforcing the evolving standards of conduct and rightthink they spent years studying. Doing the work will soon become essential work. Places will be shut down for failing these inspections just as they would health/safety inspections
lol one of my favorite dance parties gives a mandatory speech to you on consent and respectful behavior before you enter and has monitors to enforce, albeit not state certified ones
The future is now
It's too early in the day for dystopian flash fiction broo
More like a utopia!
I know grad students who would unironically love this. One was talking about state mandated therapy just the other day, literally mentioning it in an “if I were a dictator” hypothetical. It’s real.
It will arrive sooner or later. The work
My wife got a job for an ngo that does mediation here in SF. Eavesdropping their Zoom Meetings I see a swift implementation of privilege discourse workshops (There’s gold in them there hills!) popping up everywhere. I’ll probably end up producing corporate explainer videos.
Doing the work !
