Also you can’t ask them why they did something, they have no capacity of introspection, (…) they just make up something that sounds plausible for “what were you thinking”.
It’s uncanny how it keeps becoming more human-like.

…I’m honestly not sure how to answer. I mean, there were lighthearted aspects. Who names their kids Cookie, Cracker, and Biscuit? 😂😅😢 But start to finish, it was a tragedy in the classic sense.

nine out of 10 major evaluations used binary grading that penalized “I don’t know” responses while rewarding incorrect but confident answers.
This is how we treat people, too. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard IT staff spouting off confident nonsense and getting congratulated for it. My old coworker turned it into several promotions because the people he was impressing with his bullshit were so far removed from day to day operations that any slip-ups could be easily blame shifted to others. What mattered was that he sounded confident despite knowing jack about shit.
