Bullshit Jobs

It's a pretty good book.

It makes some important points.

It prods at some good and correct ideas.

I think-

Hmm

... like, my big picture criticisms of it are, one, it's, like, really meandering-

Hmm

...

in the way that a lot of, like, lefty theory is.

Yeah.

It's hard for him to land at a point.

He says a lot of things where you're like, "Okay, I like this," and then he just sort of, like, meanders on until you're like, "All right, I no longer get it." [laughs]

This is like meeting anyone in Seattle, Washington.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you're just like at a cocktail party.

You're like, "I, I think I agree.

I don't know what you're saying, though."

My other big picture criticism is that the book really screams for data-

Mm

...

but he doesn't give it.

Oh, really? That's surprising, actually.

Sometimes he's doing it very knowingly, being like, "Look, I'm a, I'm a theory guy," [laughs] you know?

Hmm.

Yeah.
