Black-eyed techno-fascist sociopaths like the dwellers of Silicon Valley are an excellent demonstration of why exposure to arts and humanities is essential for a well-rounded adult.

by doin more than one thing i mean fuckin printing cash with it, so its amazon with exactly three things (the shop, prime membership and aws) and microsoft w three and a half (azure, office, windows, linkedin maybe)

goog has like one and a half (search, android is the half), fb has precisely one

apple used to do phones and computers well. their phones are still the shiniest turd, idk about their computers any more because I don't know what's going on with the apple silicon really. before that, though, they weren't very good but were kind of bouncing back

their computers are basically negligible business in comparison to phones

if they had a half, that half would actually be services. but services is a clever way to say the app store, and does that really count as not-the-phones?

myers-briggs may well be lovely science but it's an excellent replacement for horoscopes and blood types and dnd alignments

people really like putting each other into fictional categories, for whatever reason. and if they get attached to sorta questionable science, that's a massive upgrade over getting attached to superstition in terms of general cultural level

kind of like how the neil tyson-retweeting IFLS kids are cringey but still way, way healthier than if they had been parroting some ignorant actor or singer's platitudes

use 5-factor ocean instead if you want something that replicates deec for psychology

or just use the e part cuz thats the part we're sure actually exists lol
