Haven't gotten to anything I'd call theory yet. Seems more like a categorization book. More "Look at all these different types of finches; I will name and map their habitats" and less "Here are the systemic forces of nature/life that cause there to be dozens of different finches."
Calls out essential workers getting fucked and middle managers getting vaccinated, in not so many words, tho
it's really an interesting idea stretched out to book length and his, uh, "methodology" doesnt exactly hold up (when i read that section all i could think was my old statistics teacher yelling "ASKING YOUR FRIENDS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE POLLING") but i believe he acknowledges this and says that it should only be viewed as a stepping stone for an actual scientific study. i also feel like i put my mom into an existential crisis because i gifted her this book for christmas and now she keeps saying that she has a bullshit job and it seems to me like she doesnt know what to do about it because its a job shes been doing for 30+ years and she doesnt know what else to do

sometimes I feel like I need to ask permission to radicalize libs, the ones that have a good life and that the system has rewarded.
"hey, so... your whole life is a lie and knowing what I'm about to tell you might ruin literaly everything for you. that ok?"
