Society

Everything becomes a 'growth opportunity.' Every conversation is about 'adding value.' They ask what you do within the first 15 seconds. Not because they're interested in you. Because they're calculating whether you're useful.

Attended one last week. Stood there for 90 minutes. Left with 8 cards and zero useful connections. The canapes weren't even good enough to justify it. These things exist to make people feel productive while doing nothing.
