alisonborealis (she/her): This world needs more people whose entire job is asking project proponents and operators "are you sure about this?" "are you really sure about this?" "what's your proof?" "what could go wrong" "what are the back-ups and fail-safes" "where's your documentation" "what's your 50 year plan for this"

Today, I got to teach two grad students the Art of Distrusting Beryllium & Prior Workers. As people who is responsible for bad things, they need to develop both respect and Suspicious Bastard skills.

That is, in fact, me.

Yeah. We need more of you.

One might even pray for the Phil Empire to take over.

Do not grant me My Most Perfect Imperium.

Here's the thing. Give me my Imperium and I'm a complete idiot. My plans are doomed to fail eventually if I don't flat out explode at some point. Phil is not an idiot. His plans would be doomed to succeed and no one wants that. Not even Phil as the results would be catastrophic.

ooh, a new way to tell Phil No. yoick...

Me too! Well, not a job per se but a calling. Not popular at all 🤪
