Meandering
I think this series is missing the acute detail and explanations of circumstances required to impact the listener. The vagueness of the testimonies becomes tiresome. And I keep waiting for someone to provide enough exposition to tie the different eras of the org together and it never really happens. I’m wondering how interesting this story really is. Jerk helps people. Helped people follow jerk. Jerk continues being a jerk. Helped people realize he’s a jerk. The most cowed people don’t realize that the jerk is a jerk until way too late. The only good lesson to take from this podcast is that playing around with human institutions like parenthood, marriage and personal responsibility always ends up in ruins. There are no new tricks to humans. And people who claim there are should be kept at a distance.
