"Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments"
Discussion
—Neil Strauss
It's remarkable how 20+ years later, Ferris is still grifting. A new generation I guess.
It was attributed to Strauss
Oh sorry, I wasn't really commenting on the quote or even on the original note. I just saw Ferris in the thumbnail and the thought came to my mind.
Why do you dislike Ferris?
He incarnates a lot of what’s wrong with the present.
I don't know much about the guy, but I didn't get that at all from the interview I just listened to. He talks about how to manage time & how be more productive & he wants a family & kids...? Got any examples?
I'm old enough to have read "The 4 hour workweek" when it first came out. Pure grift avant la lettre. This is a guy who was telling people that the way to "be productive" was to get an employment and then subcontract the job to call centers in India.
I mean, I know people who have jobs where automating or delegating parts of their job to outside help might actually make good financial sense & free up time to work on other things, or for helping the company solve other problems that might justify higher pay. Is there something particularly wrong with that?
So many powerful reminders!
