sometimes I’m interacting with a really polite waiter or receptionist and remember that Sartre bit about how waiters are larping being waiters and I ‘realize’ I’m larping being a customer and it adds this unpleasant sheen of unreality to everything. Don’t like Sartre

I think we were discussing in person how a bunch of Obama’s White House staffers were people who had grown up watching the West Wing, and basically did their jobs by larping West Wing characters. I wonder how long it will be before every profession, and indeed every waking moment of life, is enacted out by larping some famous TV show or embedded cultural stereotype. 

Remember Elizabeth Holmes everyone?

Oh cops are absolutely larping being cops
