Michael O. Church, T9 troll

187 upvotes by Piaw Na (Worked at Google), Quora User, Arjun Prakash, (more)

Google is a large company. It may be one of the best companies at that size, but it still has many of the big-company issues. I was there for 6 months and in that time, I:

tried to save a failing product. I had widespread engineering support but I did not convince upper management of my position. If I had understood large companies better, I would have known this mission to be impossible, because no one is taken seriously at 3 months old. If that person's obviously right, it just makes the people in power angrier.

exposed abuses of process in a way that embarrassed at least one (highly guilty) powerful manager personally.

I am not ashamed of any of this, but if I were to do it over again, I would have done things very differently. Google is, all taken, a pretty great company. I just didn't understand how large human organizations work, at that time, and I really bought into Google's self-perception of being different and open to new ideas, regardless of rank.

I was embarrassingly wrong.

Career advice for Nooglers: Google is doing some fascinating work and it's a great place to be if you get on to the right project. But learn from the mistakes of your predecessors, keep your head down, learn how to play the game before attempting to play it, and wait a few years before you attempt anything that might have a real impact. Also, "eng-misc" rhymes with "just don't".

Car Ramrod (then, Old Tom Joad) also posted as "can't edit me away!" He was a creep who hit on women on the board, and most of the things he claimed to have "backed up" about Pensive were fraudulent or linked to material that he, himself, created.

He was a class of 1999 (or 2000) Carleton poster who, for some reason, had something against Pensive due to drama on some internal message board. Car Ramrod's identity was figured out and he was known for being a creep and a pathological liar.

cr. need to read through the whole link.

"While at Google, Michael spent more time on "misc," the internal listserv known for time-wasting and frivolous debate, than almost anyone else, writing about unproductive topics. He made many enemies and his writing alone ruined his ability to be taken seriously or have another manager want him on his or her team. It was similar to his use of Hacker News, excessive blogging, and now Quora. He simply spent more time involved in politics and internal affairs than working. Again, if you work at Google or know a Googler, a quick search for his name will reveal the entire timestampped history or his writing."

He might be right about the first part, but definitely not about the second - the posters on AutoAdmit do not represent the upper class, or even serious aspirants to the upper class. They are the upper middle class (or serious aspirants to it). The upper class tends to be fanatically mindful of its reputation and popularity even when it gets the means to maintaining those things hilariously wrong; choosing to be inflammatory and narcissistic because one is confident one will face no repercussions for it is something they never do (and I believe the content of AutoAdmit is deliberate, not an endless parade of mistakes and miscalculations). It is the upper middle class that treats everything as a game and cannot conceive of real consequences.

Is this the Pensive Rhodes Scholarship meltdown thread?

False. Ever hear of Joe Caltech? He's worse with people than most diagnosed autistics, and his personality is defective, and he got [a Rhodes Scholarship].

Never tempt a man with quicker wit.

I never said that the Rhodes was a TTT. Historically, it has been a prestigious scholarship, but there are anecdotal reports of losers receiving them, and proof of at least one: Joe Caltech. PrepMe, of course, is a loser-fucker company designed to help rich loser-fuckers get into top schools at the expense of poorer, more worthy students. Simply put, it's a classist pogrom against the American poor.

"including graduate schools that wouldn't have given you a second glance"

Such as? I won't hold my breath; I know you won't be able to come up with any. To support your point, it is true that I wouldn't have gotten into top engineering departments, only because I didn't take any engineering classes at all during undergrad, but the same goes in reverse. I honestly don't know how to compare math vs. engineering for overall prestige, but I'm pretty sure Joe wouldn't have gotten into a top 25 math department, ever, but especially not now, after the Michael Lohman incident, since surely departments are more worried about "that type" than they were before.

I'm NOT the only one who's got this loser-fucker figured out? Ever hear of 174? He's way more prestigious (as am I) than anyone who has ever defended Joe Caltech.

That's really not true anymore. Maybe it was at one time, but the general consensus among elite circles (compared to lower-middle class XO speculation):

1. You don't need to go to HYP, but you should go somewhere that is good-- an Ivy, top 15 LAC, or a uni with formidable research programs. Princeton is the best of HYP.

2. If you went to a lower-calibre undergrad, you can make up for it through extensive self-study and erudition.

3. The major international fellowships (Rhodes, et al) have declined in selectivity over the past decade or so, though they're still quite respectable.

In any case, I never applied for the RS and I probably won't, because it would interrupt my graduate study. If Joe Caltech got one, though, I'd have a damn good shot at it.

You would have NO SHOT EVER, so lets clear that up to begin with.

My partner for one of my papers was one of the 32. He had excellent grades (and a much heavier courseload than me) and ridiculous extracurriculars. The Rhodes blurb mentioned like 1/3 of them.

truly prestigious.

You are wrong, and you can suck my cock, so let's clear that up to begin with.

If Joe Caltech was able to get one, then it wouldn't be difficult for me since I am by all accounts more impressive. If he hadn't gotten one, I would probably suspect that my chances would be relatively low.

That said, it sounds like your friend is pretty damn prestigious. Kudos to him.

You see, it's really not. Yes, the Rhodes Scholarship is neat and a lot of impressive people end up getting them, but it's not the "ultimate arbiter" of anything other than who gets to study in England.

I am already more prestigious than he is, though that's not saying much, and in truth I'm not terribly prestigious.

I guess pensive's prestige rankings are based primarily on whether the school accepted him.

Poster since the CC days.

He was a damaged fucking guy, no question.

I fought him back then but I support his stance on Silicon Valley and most of his work on Quora.

I wouldn't want to be one of his enemies. If he gets his shit together and beats whatever demons are holding him back, he's powerful. If he goes all-out crazy, then he's dangerous because he's crazy. No win.

A lot of those Rhodes Scholars are damn impressive. Joe Caltech isn't.

Haha. I've gotten you fuckers to flame with me for 300+ posts. Haven't you figured out yet that I only care about the numbers? It glorifies my ego either way. PWN3D.

Is Michael O Church right when he says "Everyone interested in US sociology needs to read Autoadmit/Xoxohth. Revolting but it's how the US upper-class actually think".?
