If those posers on TED were really so intelligent, they’d be writing works equivalent to Dante’s Inferno and not merely referencing them. They’re no less than parasites attached to the educated, but feeble-minded, while riding on the coattails of those men of actual accomplishment.

Their WHY is not my WHY, or it’s not a student’s WHY.

That’s why other company’s WHY doesn’t work for you or me

I work as a student employee in a university IT department. Our boss showed this video for our pointless 3+ hour long meeting we had recently. I am not excited about the outcome these ideas have on people like me. I work this job for a paycheck, everyone knows this in the student employee department. Our boss has taken this bull crap and tried to apply to a bunch of studnet employees! We don’t care that much about IT! We just need money to get through college! This is the third employer i’ve had that as had this craptacular philosophy. It’s really annoying. Why can’t work be work? Why is there this push to make every business be my family, home-away-from-home? It’s so stupid.

I’m not an intellectual. Just your average joe trying to get by, but even I see this talk given by Sinek as severly flawed. Most businesses don’t need a religious following or religious employees. Look at McDonalds and Wal-mart, both EXTREMELY successful, moreso than apple and neither of them give a flying crap about this philosophy. They focus on the “what” and do just fine.

Anyway, that’s my rant.

Well said. Simon Sinek is a fraud. He does not know anything about leadership, but he sure does know how to gas. Pity the feeble minded people who cannot tell the difference between truth and gas that sit in the audience and clap for him.

this is really insightful, alex! i’m glad you took the time to write out your thoughts.

“Personally, Iâ€™m quite enthusiastic about where things are going. Not necessarily because I think something dramatic will happen in the next few years, but because people are finally starting to think differently. A different type of thought means a different type of world.”

hear, hear!

The inmates have taken over the asylum. Let’s start with school. Just look at how stupid the curriculum is. There is no cohesion, and no purpose, and this is intentional. We don’t want an “intellectual elite” that is actually, well, intelligent. We want docile worker bees inculcated into slavish mindlessness, rules by emotions and by appetite. Our modern day intelligentsia is a fraud par excellence.

TED takes it a step further by catering to the dregs of the barrel, to the weak-minded snobs and morons who have too much purchasing power for their own and the common good. It is sophistry exalted.

lol Can you believe it? Even after telling them I only went because I didn’t know Tom was in a relationship with Katie. They still send me propaganda. Received a magazine just last week…

How dare you question my joke telling abilities? It can be both kerning or tracking, you smarty-pants.
