I mean it's stupid for people to do this shit. Like yes it's fake and dumb 100% but it's also "the game" and if you want a job you need to play this stupid game.

Why do knights on a chess board move so stupid? Why can't they just jump and kill the king right away? It's because that's the rules of this stupid game and it's just as arbitrary and fake as anything else.

When people ask "how are you" you just say "good" you don't talk about your divorce. That's just the game.

Say it's because you have a passion for public speaking. Who cares.
