The theory that many people feel the work they do is pointless because their jobs are "bullshit" has been confirmed by a new study.

        Had the bolsheviks ensconced themselves within the flames of Jesus H Christ they would still be here today. It was right in front of them, but alas they were too short sighted to understand the power of emotion.

      I’m going to have to disagree with you on this.

      People have all sorts of beliefs that can qualitatively be proven as right or wrong. For example, all the wingnuts who believe that the COVID vaccine has trackers from Microsoft. Their beliefs are 100% bereft of reality.

      Now, can they go ahead and act on those mistaken beliefs? Sure. But that doesn’t make their beliefs correct in any way.

        You’re right of course, but we are talking about two different things.
