The Contrarian

@wakame @futurebird After I switched a certain workplace to Moodle and saved them millions they had been paying Adobe, a high-school educated director who allegedly got that position thanks to connections told me to "put Moodle on blockchain so that people can't cheat on exams".

ETA: Don't get me wrong, many competent people only have high school education, but for a director in that company a master's degree was a requirement.

The Cost of Keeping Nepotism #Comfortable

Some people are born into lives so filled with privilege that they never acquire many of the skills the rest of us developed out of necessity. Their childhoods are built on entitlement, without compromise or awareness of the struggles the average person has to endure, so they grow up believing the world should break for them long before they ever have to bend for anybody else. They never learn that coexistence requires give and take, or what boundaries are. And without those lessons, they enter adulthood mistaking their comfort for evidence of virtue and their opinion for truth.

This is the very embodiment of #nepotism.

Nepotism isn’t a word we hear much in everyday culture. And when we do, we usually think of it as the idea of getting ahead because you have the right last name (i.e., “nepo baby”). But it’s about more than that. It’s a worldview shaped by growing up in an environment where comfort is inherited, consequences are softened, and competence has no real bearing on the outcome.

Long live #kleptocracy & #nepotism! Less variety, fewer providers – it doesn't really matter whether #Netflix or #Paramount takes over. In the current overall picture, it's probably not that relevant that Larry, the #fascist arse-kisser, is taking over. No good news for #film fans… #filmsky #movies
