A couple lifetimes ago I worked for a company that provided web metrics for GoComics. We had a meeting to go over them, and I was so excited to see that Calvin & Hobbes comics had 5X the views of every other comic.
So I got on the phone and I pointed this out to the marketing drones on the call, and one of them said “Yeah, that doesn’t make any sense to me. Why don’t people like our new comics?”

And I felt a deep, deep sorrow for them.
Some people play Disco Elysium and think the story and characters are lame. I don’t believe in a soul, but some people are more soulless than others.
I tried playing that game and it had a lot of philosophical ideas.
But the world was just too depressing and the amount of reading that game required to be fun was too much.
