Researchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.

The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.

Roddenberry had wanted a TOS episode about a planet where the Black people enslave the whites, I’m sure with this same sensitivity. I think this grew out of that. #monsterdon #PlanetEarth

I still think it’s better than Angel One.

Getting a late start.

I own this piece of crap! Watched it as part of a complete Star Trek rewatch. Interesting to see the stupid original of the movie Klingons I guess. #monsterdon #PlanetEarth
