I'm 38 years old and I think I've read a "What We Know About Lucy Is Wrong" article every year.

Not many people have the luxury of choosing an occupation that aligns with their ideals. A person may have taken a job at Apple out of necessity because it's all that was offered, or perhaps to maintain their legal status in the country (H-1B visa), or because they have burgeoning student debts, or maybe they were as yet unaware of the corporate trend towards employee exploitation.

Their life, on the other hand... 🤔

Corporate execs right now: "If it's not happening next quarter then it's not my problem!"

You know who else has, dangerously short-term intelligence? My two year old son...
