David Graeber
“If the ongoing importance of a manager is measured by how many people he has working under him, the immediate material manifestation of that manager's power and prestige is the visual quality of his presentations and reports. The meetings in which such emblems are displayed might be considered the high rituals of the corporate world. And just as the retinues of a feudal lord might include servants whose only role was to polish his horses' armor or tweeze his mustache before tournaments or pageants, so many present-day executives keep employees whose sole purpose is to prepare their PowerPoint presentations or craft the maps, cartoons, photographs, or illustrations that accompany their reports. Many of these reports are nothing more than props in a Kabuki-like corporate theater—no one actually reads them all the way through.”
David Graeber, Bullshit Jobs: A Theory

“Yet, at this, how bitter I feel! / As the gods are my witness, / what galls me the most / is that even in my dreams, / I could never have known. . . . / Seeing him repeatedly / and hearing his voice, / how hateful it is that I / should yearn for him so . . ./”
Fukuchi Ôchi, Kagami Jishi
