The goal of therapy isn’t to “fix” people but instead help them understand themselves. Unfortunately some people actually need fixing.

I once met the "meditation guru" for Elon Musk, and seeing how that guru behaved told me everything I need to know about how Elon behaves.

(I like meditation, but it doesn't suddenly make everyone super-compassionate; sometimes it just makes jerks more focused jerks)

@pamelafox @carnage4life

was this before or after the entire run of Silicon Valley featuring just such a character? 😂

@drewpickard @carnage4life it was after aspen ideas festival in 2015 (the guru had given a talk and we happened to be on same airplane)...sooo before? i havent watched most seasons of SV, it was too real :)

It’s is funny/scary/ptsd-inducing for a reason: it’s based off of reality!
I haven’t even worked in the valley and it was loosely familiar to me just being in tech.
Mike Judge is so incredible at catching these things and putting them out in such a way that makes them feel prophetic. Unfortunately.
