As much as i enjoy your insights and rigorous reflections on modern life.. on this signal , i would file it more under ‘noise’. Im not sure ‘irony’ works for gen z , not in an age of near complete commodification of just about everything. Though i do concur on the social credit point.. Reminds me of that great Bill Hicks joke about marketing way back in the 90s…

The signal (I tried - and failed apparently, I admit - to get at) was more to do with the workplace dynamics & future implications of a rejection avoiding, *low resilience* generation - ie why “rejection therapy” is trending or even existing (no resilience) not the rejection therapy hashtag per say but the need / desire for it. Which is a big thing. (The de facto social credit / credit thing is one of my major themes. It pops up everywhere.)

(Oh and the irony point was for you, dear readers, I know the subject of the conversation doesn’t get the joke 😂)

Oh OH, maybe that's why I spend so much time on TikTok. Speaking of TikTok, these videos are the perfect length for TikTok, are you on there?

I am - with these videos (search my name) but not very frequently. My content (these same videos, just edited visually to fit format) keeps getting banned so I must be doing something right.
