Not well known that Eric Arthur Blair worked in the compliance department at Tokyo Mitsubishi. That’s where he got his insights.
As you wade into your fourth consecutive hour of all hands conference calls, a time will surely come when you will find yourself asking aloud: “When I read Conrad, Orwell, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, did I have the faintest conception that this was where it would all end up?”
If only it would end.
“The time will come when you can no longer make out the crystal peaks, and the filthy chasms will yawn away beneath your feet; even the sublime truths will terrify you like a phantom. At that time (it feels like now) you will DENY EVERYTHING.”
