Bible: Angels visit earth and have consensual relations with human women. Angels also visit Abe and Sarah appearing to be humans. Angels visit Lot and appear to be human.
Also Bible: be not afraid of me despite being a lovecraftian nightmare!
Look on the brightside. You still have the weekend when you are in school. Wait until you get a family and every single fucking weekend is taken up events you don’t want to go to but you get nagged into.
We have the data. This type of command-and-control systems where one person is allowed to be smart and everyone else has their ideas shot down and dignity removed results in the worst products, the lowest quality control, the slowest ability to change to new conditions, and makes the least amount of money. This structure only exists because it is the simplest to setup.
And everyone is mystified why cost disease is running rampant. Why government projects are behind schedule, over budget, and don’t work very well. My employer for example has systems that accomplish the same goals for private vs public sector. The public sector ones are crap and every time I attempt to update them slightly I am told not to by the middlemen between the government and us. Meanwhile our private sector machines continue to advance.

People swore oaths in their testicles. The words testimony, testes, and testament all have the same root. Thus the Bible is composed of old balls and new balls.
