I checked that out... IIRC there was a channel showing videos of custom-architected millionaire houses, mostly in california. They were all gorgeous, with huge, open, window-filled designs showing great CA vistas, garages filled with sports cars, unlike any house I'd ever seen before yet somehow all felt the same. It was like all the millionaires had identical lives, just shifted onto some other CA hill. It was very strange.

I've heard of taboos forbidding discussion in religious contexts, for religious (superstitious) reasons, but what definition of taboo are you using that it doesn't just mean "forbidden"?

There's a taboo to marrying your blood sibling, but discussing such marriages is fine. If a culture generally allowed marrying such a sibling I think it'd be past its peak, maybe. But I don't see how discussing it would contribute to that.

What the heck is corn juice honey butter?

Presumably someone read it though, at some point, in order to be able to cite it.

I hate that it's the case, but generally the ones doing the dumb stuff during the hiring process are HR, and you'll not be interacting with them for 99% of the job once hired. Even before LLMs they were using AI and dumber applicant screening, causing people to fill their resumes with keywords.
