    It’s weird how unreasonably mad I get at the LinkedIn writing style. The pauses, the paragraphs, the “The lesson?” “The meaning?” “The result?” questions, always ending with “Here’s the truth:”

    It hits some part of my primitive brain and makes me wanna smash some rocks

      It’s this faux profound tone. These idiots got B’s at ivy league schools and think it makes them enlightened polymaths gracing the rest of us with their incredibly deep and meaningful insights about their incredibly deep and meaningful lives. It’s performing a caricature of happiness and enlightenment because they’re mimicking the models given to them by vapid liberal “everyone’s a hero!” tropes in movies and the way they’re told they’re supposed to feel about status and consumption by advertising.
