I have so many ideas for the OPS. Some are simple, like 'no more meetings.' The bigger ones will be tougher, like 'bring all this crashing to the ground.' Queen's Park, Ontario Joined September 2022-

@RontarioSwanson My favourite are the managers who feel because they have to edit a letter they feel the need to change something even if it doesn’t change the meaning.
@RontarioSwanson @900BayOverheard Ever feel that managers/directors spend an inordinate amount of time editing/wordsmithing letters where the end result is, "sorry to hear about all your problems but there isn't anything we can do to help you".

One interesting effect of the Plagiarism War is that a lot of academics are about to have their work read by a non-reviewer for the first time *ever*
My wife, @NeriOxman, was just contacted by Business Insider claiming that they have identified other plagiarism in her work including 15 examples in her dissertation where she did not cite Wikipedia as a source. Business Insider told us that they are publishing their story…
a great gag would be to just submit one of the harvard presidents papers as your harvard admissions essay
the amazing implication here is academia is so entirely rife with waste and fraud there's no way to enforce the institution's own purported integrity without destroying the entire machine
1.8 million academic papers per year. Most never read, plagiarized, fake, or useless. What % were paid for by taxpayer $$$?
Btw found this mention of 1.8M academic papers published per year as a top line number Who wants to guess what that number looks like after all of @pmarca’s funnel is applied…

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves,…

Truths are no longer being left unsaid.
a fake email job is not all that desirable. you'll work 1h a day and be bored out of your mind for $150k a year. it's like premium unemployment
Institutions do not, as a rule, "reform". They are living up to their highest ideals, not compromising them. If you want something different, you have to build from scratch.
"I believe that being busy is a form of lazy. I will take this to my retirement deathbed."
Can other people see this, or just me?
"they are doing what bureaucrats usually do in the face of uncertainty -- nothing at all."
"the best analogy [to the OPS] is a family that never ever talks about its problems because conflict is not allowed"
"everyone is thinking 'this is a waste of time.' but each person doesn't know that everyone else is thinking that too! so no one ends it or cancels the next one" meetings
"if you can't get fired, it's not really a job. it's actually more like slavery, ironically"
