Billions of data points—painstakingly collected by world-leading management crapologists—prove that the volume of pseudo-intellectual management and leadership BS on social media multiplies directly with the number of self-declared “thought leaders” who have nothing to manage but their follower count.

Leading scientists are sounding the alarm over the imminent collapse of civilisation due to uncontrollable MM emissions. Emergency task forces propose radical “de-bullshitting” interventions, but, alas, these efforts seem hopeless: experts point out that the highest NL toxicity levels are found precisely where one would expect—the hallowed halls of academia and the annual meeting of Certified LinkedIn Influencers.

PS: This is just a kindly word of warning to the holy warriors of management theory: never forget Robespierre’s timeless wisdom—“virtue without terror is ineffective.” In actual management (as opposed to pontificating on “Servant Leadership” memes), it takes both institutions and the scars of real experience to wield tools effectively within context. Neither is acquired by “liking” the latest TEDx post. Or, as Kierkegaard might say: beware that your relentless career as an observer of human systems does not sap the last reserves of your own humanity.
