You say "cult of personality".

I say "Great Founder Theory".

Ok tankie.

Any books you'd recommend on the topics you discussed?
Jibbedeyeah··on U.S. universities, rich in data, struggle to capture its value, study finds
One man's troubling tone is another man's dystopic reality.

I read a comment on here months ago about someone who enabled a hotel chain to process the data coming from the motion activated lights in every hotel. The chain was able to track workers with this data and cracked down on people taking too long of breaks.

And now a personal anecdote. The business I used to work at had an ID badge door you had to use to enter the smoking area. I was told by someone I trusted that when layoffs came, a member of management asked for a list of the people that used that door. The people on that list were prioritized for termination.

"Universities are literally awash in data. From administrative data offering information about students, faculty and staff, to research data on professors’ scholarly activities and even telemetric signals"

Why are professors' telemetric signals even being discussed? Are publicly listed office hours not enough? My dogs got chipped without their consent. Do professors deserve more dignity than my dogs?

Jibbedeyeah··on Operation Gladio
It has never made sense to me why Anglos allied with the Communists. It seems to me the Communists wanted Global Communism, while Hitler wanted a larger Germany.

America shouldn’t have allied with either of them. We are complicit to Soviet crimes as a nation.

I wonder if this is the result of being surrounded by so much marketing.

Coincidentally, I read an article in the Economist about male fertility that said 35 is when a man's sperm starts to become less effective. So, slightly less than full of life, I would say.

>Tantric sex and drugs where people are genuinely happy

That seems like vapid, temporary happiness to me. Like rockstar, Kurt Cobain, type happiness.
