Getting Off the Treadmill

Closing Lecture

What we covered

Rice paddies. Résumés. Overtime. Boardrooms. Feeds. This syllabus. Exits. Trainees, tests, housing. One mechanism, nine costumes.

What naming it buys you

Not an exit — Tang Ping and FIRE already tried that, and week 9 showed what opting out doesn’t fix. Naming buys you the ability to ask, out loud, whether the next escalation is actually necessary before you supply the extra effort it’s asking for.

This deck has four slides.

Week 8’s had seven, and a table, and a citation.

That’s the whole course.
