A photograph shouldn't be just a picture, it should be a philosophy.
In meetings philosophy might work,on the field practicality works.
Like many people who became sick, I found that researching man-made radiation immersed me into a corporate world of lie, confuse and deny.
A painting shouldn't be just a picture, it should be a philosophy.
Lovers tend to be philosophical, achievers are practical.
Pragmatism is good prevention for problems.
In fact the "mask" theme has come up several times in my background reading. Richard Sennett, for example, in "The Corrosion of Character: The Personal Consequences of Work in the New Capitalism", and Robert Jackall, in "Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate managers", refer repeatedly to the "masks" that corporate functionaries are required to wear, like actors in an ancient Greek drama. According to Jackall, corporate managers stress the need to exercise iron self-control and to mask all emotion and intention behind bland, smiling, and agreeable public faces. Kimberly seems to have perfected the requisite phoniness and even as I dislike her, my whole aim is to be welcomed into the same corporate culture that she seems to have mastered, meaning that I need to "get in the face" of my revulsion and overcome it. But until I reach that transcendent point, I seem to be stuck in an emotional space left over from my midteen years: I hate you; please love me.
Whether voting Republican or Democrat, the result is the same: A corrupt corporate government.
Government scientists are commonly as corrupt as the corporate government that employs them.
I sincerely hope that President Barack Obama’s government will be remembered as the peak of deregulated corporate corruption and not the ongoing rise of it.
I find it very sad that by the time corporate science realizes the value of nature, that it may be too late
Behind the facade of elected government are a bunch of corporate controlled gangsters running the country.
I expected, as I approached the corporate world, to enter a brisk, logical, nonsense-free zone, almost like the military - or a disciplined, up-to-date military anyway - in its focus on concrete results. How else would companies survive fierce competition? But what I encountered was a culture riven with assumptions unrelated to those that underlie the fact- and logic-based worlds of, say science and journalism - a culture addicted to untested habits, paralyzed by conformity, and shot through with magical thinking.
