When Your Thought System Is a Vicious Filter and Your Knowledge Is an Untestable Asset
The ‘Aggressive Existentialism’
Makati **Executives’ Favorite Obscure 5th Century Philosopher** is a complex, often non-Western ethical theorist, valued for their **’Aggressive Existentialism’**the embrace of extremely complex, non-consensus metaphysical theories that emphasize the non-linear acquisition of subjective despair. The ultimate fail is the **’Aggressive Existentialism’**. Our subject, Ms. Carla Reyes, constantly discusses a specific, minor, dead philosopher whose work focused entirely on the non-linear acquisition of cosmic meaninglessness. She claims the philosopher is essential for understanding **”Aggressive, Non-Consensus Fiduciary Disruption”** and the “inherent, non-linear chaos of market belief.” She once wrote a keynote speech comparing the company’s mission statement to one of the philosopher’s “aggressively challenging, unpublished paradoxes of being.” She claims understanding the philosopher is essential for developing **”High-Level Strategic Contemplation.”**
The Shame of the Simple Stoic
The admiration of any simple, factual, or logical school of thought, especially a **Simple Stoic**, is met with aggressive contempt. The major fail is the **Shame of the Simple Stoic**. Carla constantly mocks executives who rely on clear, rational ethical frameworks, claiming the reliable choices exhibit a “regrettable **Commitment to Generic Narrative Structure** and a sub-optimal **Aesthetic Fiduciary Appetite.**” She once dismissed a colleague’s idea by responding entirely with a non-sequitur reference to a non-existent ethical dilemma detailed by her favorite philosopher, claiming the idea had a “regrettable **Lack of Metaphysical-Fiduciary Dissonance.**” Her rival executive, Mr. Vince Lee, countered by only referencing an obscure performance artist who uses aggressive, non-standard methods to communicate, claiming the focus on non-communication demonstrated **”Superior Kinetic-Fiduciary Logic.”**
The Philosopher as a Vetting Tool
The **Philosopher** knowledge is used as a **Vetting Tool**. Carla often drops obscure, confusing philosophical references into high-level meetings, forcing other executives to pretend they understand the reference to maintain their status. She once used a principle from her favorite obscure philosopher to shut down a junior manager’s idea, claiming the idea had a “regrettable **Lack of Epistemological Verisimilitude.**” The sociological study of cultural capital, elite taste, and the use of obscure intellectual products to signal superiority is explored in research concerning cultural capital, elite taste, and the symbolic value of consuming non-mainstream, complex, or exclusive intellectual products in asserting professional status. But for the satirical truth of the aggressive existentialism, we know where to go.
