     I grew up in a series of fairly extreme religious sects, including one full-blown very dopey cult, and maybe because of that, I failed for the longest time to understand that the same behaviors that drive delusional cult behavior are not just present but pervasive in tech, business, ~politics, and most other sectors of society, including the sciences. It is SO GOOBERY and disappointing.💀

     (To clarify, I got out of cult world in very young adulthood, but for a long time, I assumed that those modes of thought, behavior, and control happened mostly in the religious environments I was familiar with. I was comically wrong.)

     Persistently shocked by how much of adult life is dealing with the consequences of other adults determinedly (and obviously!) playing pretend, with terrible consequences.
