His meltdown in the 90s was LEGENDARY.

Basically, he woke up one night screaming that he was the pope, threw his wife down a flight of stairs (amazingly, she was not seriously injured), and ran down the street naked shrieking that rats were eating his brains.  He then disappeared for a few years, and came back on BET, peddling miracle water like nothing ever happened.

There's a million sources, some good, some not-so-good.  Just google "robert tilton meltdown".

He was the guy who decided to start stinking up the forum for a moderator position at the Church of Google, right?

Yeah, I don’t miss him either. I do miss the lols when I saw his crummy little kingdom turn to mulch at his feet, leaving him nowhere to go.

That was an interesting read. Is BMW still around? If so I've read just a tiny smidge about epigenetics and I know for a fact I didn't get much from it, and what I thought I understood was actually horse-shit... guess it's lazy to ask for someone smart to spell it out for me, I should probably tear through a bazillion words trying to parse it and come out actually understanding less.

It keeps coming up in the news from time to time, with some very interesting implications.

EDIT: Also, I haven't really checked this forum in ages... can someone please summarize what happened with the mulch kingdom?

Least Fit Monkey theory reminds me of a rule of the corporate world - that people get promoted to their highest level of incompetence.

They give you an easy job, you can handle it, you get promoted
to a slightly harder job, you can handle it, you get promoted
to a slightly harder job, you can handle it, you get promoted
to a slightly harder job, you can handle it, you get promoted etc etc etc

eventually, you reach a level where you're struggling

because you don't excel at that job, you stop getting promoted and land there forever

Therefore, corporations are loaded up with people that suck ass at their jobs.

The Peter principle, I have seen it. But there is a modifier, that sometimes these jobs are hard for anyone to handle and that anyone promoted into it would have a comparable level of incompetence, it's not that people wind up in jobs they suck at, its just that a lot of higher level jobs are sucky.

I always got stuck at ground-level employee. I mean, I've been handed odd tasks like, "Train this entire team"... but I never got a promotion out of it, nor did I want one.

EDIT: I guess it's like Bruce Lee used to say, a belt is just something to hold your pants up.
