- vote Is Squid games basically Blind? Watching Squid Game reminds me of Blind where human beings are driven into extreme competition for prestigé and TC.

- vote Work where you’re the smartest or where you may be the dumbest? Always wondered if you should work where you’re the smartest person on the team or if you should keep jumping to a better place where you may be the dumbest person on your team?
