There’s a certain thing Silicon Valley-adjacent tech people do, where they act over-the-top friendly while casually murdering you with words. Like, they’ll smile, say something nice about someone you know, and then deadass imply you bring nothing of value to the table.

Is this a systemic thing that just happens in certain “dog eat dog” industries, or do those kinds of people just happen to thrive there?

@deadsuperhero it's a chicken-egg situation, surely.

forrest

@deadsuperhero but i am inclined to think that the psychopaths came first, and that the "dog eat dog" world exists because psychopaths (like those you're describing) built it from the ground up. they thrive in the cesspool of their own making; decent people begone.
