[[File:Nerf.gif|450px|frameless|center]] | 1. The state of being tedious; a [[noun]] ''so'' dull that dictionaries regularly define it by reference to its [[adjective]]. | ||
}} | 2. Descriptive of the intellectual content of life in a modern multinational. If you don’t find it tedium, you are going to be first against the wall when the revolution comes. The revolution, by the way, is most likely to come in the shape of a chatbot, or algorithm and it won’t waste ammunition on you when you are up against the wall — it is simply there that you will find the hook on which your coat is hanging, which you will be invited to get as they hand you your [[iron mountain]] box and wish you well. You don’t even get time for a [[farewell email]]. | ||
