I know replying to myself is lame, but in the American public school system, which is where most of us peons are trained to do these drone jobs and then die grey and miserable, indoctrinated to work until expiration in a tiny cubicle, there is still some kind of vague accountability. Like, unless I don't really understand algebra, I won't pass 7th-grade algebra. Unless I cheat.
So there are "A's, C's, and F's," but no B's or D's? There's no room for ambiguity in the line of judgment? It has to be impassible.
Once you get into the "real world" of "adult work," that all goes away. Whether you are an "A," "C," or "F" is all dependent on how much the boss likes you personally and how much time they want to spend writing personnel evaluation reports instead of sucking their own boss's cock so they can be a "1" and not a "3."
Russian writers wrote extensively about this phenomenon during the Soviet period, but they were always more honest and braver than Americans. Maybe they thought they still had something to lose that was worth fighting for.
where are the 4s and the 2s, is my question
