  • Oh it was super interesting! Stories from experts strongly advising against design decisions but being ignored, colleagues and industry officials raising concerns, the utter failure of OSHA in protecting the wistleblowers, multiple red flags being ignored, the batshit insane list of failures during previous dives being ignored, the lack of safety culture, administrative office crew doubling as safety inspectors/dive operators/engineers while having no qualifications whatsoever for that job, the absolute lack of free speech to voice concerns/toxic positivity that was expected from everyone/repercussions against people that did try to speak up, the pressure put on potential mission specialists to continue their trip if they tried to back out, the extremely dubious “mission specialist” term used to describe passengers just to get out of insurance and liability, the long, long list of questionable design choices made by someone who had no proper experience, the cost cutting mentality, the “meh its good enough” mentality,…

    The list goes on and on and on. Those hearings are worth watching with popcorn. I was hooked and watched them all, but of you have to pick some, choose those from david lochridge, tony nissen, renata rojas, karl stanley, bart kemper and bonnie carl.

    The most entertaining part is the board asking seemingly ‘stupid’ or gullible questions and having the pro-oceangate witnesses digging their own grave trying to spin the answer in a positive light; while everybody already knows the real answer.

    • TikTok.
    • Short form videos.
    • Tutorials in a 10 minute video format. Just give me a list of instructions I can skim to find the thing I’m looking for.
    • Influencers and “content creators”. Please get cancer and die.
    • YouTube after 2011 or so
    • Monetization of platforms
    • The way software development evolved from a highly praised skill to being regarded as nothing more than a fleshbased code printer for creating more shareholder value
    • How the art scene is now mostly relying on social media exposure and followers
    • so, Actually most of the modern internet.
    • The lie that you can become rich and succesful by working hard and putting in the hours

    I can go on for quite a while. Millenial disillusionment is real.

    Social media really is a cancer. If you can’t even say a word like “die” because it will potentially upset advertisers, then I guess I’d rather have the internet…die. (That’s right, Meta, I dared to say that forbidden word. You better never train your AI on federated content! )
