From @anduriltech’s @PalmerLuckey: What is the #1 job most kids want today? “It’s social media influencer, next is professional gamer, next is YouTuber… the problem is, you can’t tell kids to follow their dreams when their dreams suck.” What was the #1 dream for kids in 1971? To be an astronaut 👨‍🚀 🌕 “We had just gone to the moon… These guys were fighter pilots, PhD mathematician super men, who were also really good looking and well spoken… the ultimate American hero ideal. For a kid to see that and say ‘that’s what I want to be,’ okay tell the kids to follow their dreams.”

So, not really a million miles from the "demotivator" posters and calendars that @despairinc have been doing for decades (-ish) over at despair.com?

Love that @MarksWazza is using Despair.com images in his #SPSDBN session. I have two framed Despair posters in my home office

@burnie, you're right these are the saddest things in existence. One day I'll be working @RoosterTeeth where I won't need these. #RTDocs

I drink my juice out of one of these every morning (and yes, I usually fill it to about the "half-empty" mark). teapawt.net/despairinc/status/7989…
Optimists love to say the glass is half full. Despair gives you the mug that proves once and for all it's HALF-EMPTY despair.com/products/pessimi…
