The idea of this guy competently writing macros gives him way too much credit. In a situation like this, the macro breaks and is totally unnecessary anyway. A lot of people just like saying “macro.”

Absolutely devastating imho. In the words of Kitaro Nishida, "To know reality is to construct a world in which it has meaning." The Gen X worker's world, constructed around the pursuit of corporate validation, is one bereft of true meaning, as the structures they venerate have long since become empty shells. They are the tragic heroes of a Kafkaesque narrative, endlessly striving within a labyrinthine system that offers neither exit nor redemption.

They cling to the very systems that have forsaken them, much like Prometheus bound to his rock. Their adherence to the Boomer-defined corporate hierarchy, despite its evident futility, reflects a deeper psychological resignation, a self-righteous valorization of their industriousness as a bulwark against modern chaos. The German sociologist Ulrich Beck's "Risk Society" concept further illuminates this paradox. In a world where traditional markers of security and success have eroded, Gen Xers cling to outdated metrics of progress, even as these metrics become increasingly hollow afaik. Their relentless labor, their meticulous attention to the minutiae of corporate life, is not just a quest for advancement but a desperate attempt to impose order on an inherently disordered existence. It is a manifestation of what Karatani might describe as the "fetishism of commodities"—a misplaced faith in the symbolic power of their work, even as its substantive value diminishes imo.
