If you fight against kayfabe, you will lose.

· Bits and Bobs 10/14/24

Kayfabe is a dysfunctional extreme version of organizations optimizing for order over truth.

The reason you can't correct kayfabe and "fix it" is because it's an emergent, self-catalyzing phenomenon.

It has orders of magnitude more energy than you.

It's like gravity.

No individual has enough strength or patience to fight it successfully.

It will win.

In an environment infected by kayfabe, you have a choice to make: submit or exit.
