Occasionally I choose a movie so unenjoyable that it drives my wife out of the living room. Sadly I have to set the counter back to zero tonight.

I'm going to go out on a completely unsupported limb and say that TED talk culture is a part of why we're here.
It normalized business oriented ways of thinking being applied to dumbed down versions of planetary scoped problems.

people say these guys want feudalism, but even that gives them too much credit, because kings and queens and lords in feudalism had substantial obligations to the peasants, and worried about being disemboweled by the mob if they shirked those obligations for too long

There's a direct path from the Mickey Mouse Club to the clip where she's dancing with knives and it was lined by malicious creeps the whole way.
Yeah it was pretty clarifying to watch every single media personality explicitly conspire to ruin Britney Spears’ life from the time she was 16 until, yknow, her life was ruined
