THEY HAVE
NAMES
FOR YOU.

The median human. The bottom eighty percent. Low-agency people. The cognitive proletariat. NPCs. Midwits. The masses. The cattle. They write the names in their group chats. They say them on podcasts under their breath. They post them on Substack with footnotes. The names are not new. Only the speaker is.

What will they do all day, they ask. They mean: how do we manage your boredom safely. They mean: how do we keep you from voting wrong. They mean: how much UBI plus how much streaming plus how much fentanyl equals a quiet decade. They have charts. They have models. They have a hundred million dollars and a Twitter account. They are very serious about it.

This is the same contempt their grandparents had for whoever was below them. The same contempt the foreman had for the line. The same contempt the line had for the bum sleeping outside the factory. What does he do all day. Why doesn’t he just. The voice does not change. Only the building it echoes in.[fig. 001]

We read every post. We saved every screenshot. We watched the keynote at 1.5x with a notepad. We bought the t-shirt to see what the t-shirt said. We named the site after what they call us when they think we are not in the room.

We are in the room. We have been in the room. The room is on fire. This is the dossier.

[ § 02 ]THE QUOTE WALL

IN THEIR
OWN WORDS.

What the men with the podcasts say about you when they think you are not in the room. Composite, paraphrased, lightly redacted. Every line is a real one in a different jacket.

“The bottom 80% have poor ideas, poor decision-making, and poor lives.”
“They will find new things to do.”
“We just need to keep the masses entertained.”
“Most people are NPCs.”
“Just learn to prompt.”
“Low-agency people will be fine.”
“UBI + VR = a quiet decade.”
“The cognitive proletariat.”
“What do they do all day?”
“We’ll figure something out for them.”
“Median IQ is, frankly, embarrassing.”
“The masses won’t notice.”
“They’ll be happier without the work.”
“The midwit panic.”
“Useless eaters of cognition.”

FIG. 002 — SPECIMEN. DOCILE. SHOWS LITTLE FIGHT.

Studied at length under conditions of optimal sedation. Subject failed to revolt. Subject did, however, complain on the internet, which the captors found endearing.

[ § 04 ]A LIVING GLOSSARY

DICTIONARY.

The vocabulary of the contempt. Definitions written by hand, in the order we learned to dread them.

  1. DEFINITION

    What the man with the podcast calls you when he is comfortable. Originally a slur. Now a tax bracket. Eventually, a target demographic.

    EX. “He looked out at the cattle class and decided they would be fine, somehow, with UBI.”
