Move over Sociopath. The Decade of the Mediocrat begins.
Every decade of ribbonfarm has an archetype associated with it. These will eventually form a zodiac of n+1 archetypes where n is the number of decades I have left (rounding up) to live.

Decades begin on xxx9 years, since Gervais Principle, introducing The Sociopath, was written in 2009.
2009-18: Sociopath
2019-28: Mediocrat
The first xxx9 year after I die will circle back to Sociopath
So if I live to be 80 (2054), 2059-68 will be next decade of the Sociopath

Not at all. Totally mediocre move with low cost of failure 😎. I just gave to make up one archetype every decade.

I think the decade leading up to the technological singularity will be the decade of the Sociopath, again, unfortunately, but anyway, nice to get into a different vibe for the next 10 years.
