probably the simplest but most dramatic conceptual reframing tool i am trying to use more nowadays is whenever a company says "we can't find people to work" or similar, what they're actually saying is "we are underpaying for this position".

a wage is a bribe you pay a person to sit in one place and do a job, no matter how crappy that job is. if you are struggling to find a person to take that job you should raise the level of bribe. basic shit

Pauline Kael said that "Movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash we have very little reason to be interested in them." If you have time for a season of trashy 90s conspiracy theory TV then Nowhere Man is for you.

The VR episode specifically is audacious low budget TV that's extremely excited about what VR could be, written by people who have no idea what VR is. Highly recommend.
