mircea_popescu: "oh you don't want to talk to our ''consultants'' ? what ifwe pretended this isn't happening at work ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a corp racket. they're disguised pep rallies.
mircea_popescu: there;s a humongous difference between crowd driving and crowd following. which is why cowboys (traditional herd drivers) think very little of shephers (traditional herd followers)
