Week 9 Session: Crit: Lying Flat, Discussed

Three ways of opting out, weighed against what each one actually costs

3 May 2027

Before the session

Pick one: lying flat, quiet quitting, or FIRE. Bring one real case. Be ready to defend it as an exit, not a rebrand of giving up.

In the session

Three camps argue their exit against the other two. Then one question: does this break the loop, or just let one person step outside it while it keeps running for everyone else?

Afterwards

Whatever holds up best carries into week 11 as a shape for an intervention.

The spec

What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.

name one real cost of the exit you're defending
say what happens if everyone does it at once
