Seriously. Talk about truth in advertising.

I really love this show. It's excellently done, but it highlights a trend in our culture that I hate: metaphor is dead, allegory is on life support, and myth is meaningless.

Folks will binge this show, made by Apple none the less, and not see how any of it pertains to reality. It's just a fun little "what if" romp. Not at all a work of fiction with some cold hard truths at the center of it. To most people it seems like fiction= completely fake and can't have any bearing or commentary on people's lived experience.

It's all very tiring.

My first thought watching the show was how is this produced by Apple. Apple would be one of the first companies to have severed workers. Apple is a really secretive company, employees and teams are intentionally kept in the dark just like the different departments at Lumon.
