The first year of my Ph.D. program, I had a supervisor who was a poststructuralist. I came out of every meeting with him more confused than when I went in. Eventually, I organized a group with the four other doctoral students who shared this same supervisor, and we met a few times for lunch to try to decode what he was saying to us.

I started college in 1988, during the last few months of Reagan’s presidency. I finished college in 1992, during the last few months of George H.W. Bush’s presidency. I’ve always been drawn to politics, and I majored in political science. But the quality of political thinking in the US at the time was abysmal. The Democratic Party was feckless — completely lost in the wilderness of its own incompetence.

I’m completely fascinated by the unwritten discursive norms on LinkedIn. I call it Corporate Pollyannaism. It’s a language unto itself. Most everyone intuitively knows the rules (they are the rules of bourgeois society after all) but no one ever says them out loud lest they upset the Leviathan. But I shall proceed anyway because I find the social dynamics so interesting and yet under-theorized. Here’s my first take at the “LinkedIn Rules of Discourse:” Everyone is always winning.

Traducido por el equipo de SOTT.netUna guía práctica de bolsillo para traducir el lenguaje de la Medicina Ortodoxa Corporativizada. En 1900, el 2% del PIB de EE.UU. se destinaba a la asistencia sanitaria, pero hoy en día consume casi el 19%. Mientras tanto, la longevidad estimada ha empezado a disminuir, y estamos en medio de una avalancha de enfermedades crónicas que proliferan rápidamente, sin final a la vista. La gente cada vez enferma a una edad más temprana.

Your handy pocket guide to translating the language of Corporatized Orthodox Medicine. In 1900, 2% of U.S. GDP went to healthcare, but today it consumes nearly 19%. Meanwhile, expected longevity has started declining, and we are in the midst of an avalanche of rapidly proliferating chronic diseases, with no end in sight. People are getting sicker at a younger age. We are spending a lot more, and getting a lot less for our money.

Historically, public health was a radical profession. It challenged power and built large public works projects (sewers and sanitation) that dramatically improved lives. But the field of public health today bears almost no resemblance to the efforts from a century ago. Instead, public health today is this weird, exaggerated, corporatized performance of things that kinda sorta sound like health by people who have no understanding of science and medicine.
