Good word. Usually I can say "I used to know that but forgot," but I don't think I've ever heard it before.

I think Harari is on the money. It's all going to be about what kind of value system we manage to believe in collectively to keep this massively improbable accident called civilization working (without this being interpreted as coercion, we're just talking about game rules, not how you play the game under those rules). The good news is that we all have an interest in making it work, despite appearances to the contrary.

A bullshit job—where one is treated as if one were usefully employed and forced to play along with the pretense—is inherently demoralizing because it is a game of make-­believe not of one’s own making.
