idea

Djoric	Like, consider it
23:10	Zolgamax	I thought you were saying "Do Not Mention".
23:10	Djoric	the Overseers have never interacted with a scip
23:10	KateMcTiriss	little safe-class curiosities that mostly contain themselves, requiring a little bit of staff time
23:10	Zolgamax	Which would've been odd.
23:11	Reject	so the Foundation ought not to let infohazards run around documentations in case there was a second thing involved
23:11	Djoric	how many directors have never been in direct contact?
23:11	Djoric	how many of the higher ups have completely removed themselves from the actual meat of the job?
23:11	Roget	Djoric: wow
23:11		KateMcTiriss is concurring heartily
23:11	Roget	that's actually really interesting
23:11	Roget	I've never thought of it that wat
23:11	Roget	way
23:12	Roget	but that might be why they'd risk having people exposed to anomalies
23:12	Roget	because the alternative is people in the bubble
23:12	Djoric	And they don't know
23:12	Djoric	as information gets passed up the food chain
23:12	Djoric	it gets changed
23:12	Djoric	so as not to "burst the bubble"
23:12	Djoric	someone learns how to fly using nothing but fish?
23:13	Djoric	classify them as a Serpent's Hand eco-terrorist
23:13	Djoric	label them CI
23:13	Djoric	do anything you can to make sure that you /don't pop the bubble/
23:13		Riemann pops the bubble
23:13	KateMcTiriss	Right! People portray foundation employees as these perfect automatons but, Christ, these people have lives too. They want to finish the giant inbox, report to Regional and go home to get ready for their date or their one night of drinking all week
23:13	Zolgamax	Dangit, Riemann.
23:13	Roget	Djoric: http://pastebin.com/5e5Ghz6B
23:13	Riemann	muuuhahahahaha
23:13		--- Zolgamax is away (???)
23:14		*** djkaktus joined #rogetbox
23:14		+++ ChanServ has given op to djkaktus
23:14		--- Zolgamax is away (Fixing the bubble.)
23:14	KateMcTiriss	howdy kaktus!
23:14	Djoric	Roget: is this trying to say that the bubble exists or does not exist with the overseers
23:14	Djoric	because if it says that they don't exist, I ain't buying it
23:15	Roget	it exists less with people who have interacted with scips
23:15	Roget	this is just a seed here
23:15	djkaktus	Hey girl
23:15	Roget	but I want to make your idea into a tale here
23:15		*** Vince quit (Quit: bedtime)
23:15	Djoric	Indeed
23:15	Djoric	But yeah, I would imagine that the Overseers are completely divorced from reality
23:15	Djoric	they still think its the cold war
23:15	Djoric	they're still using cold war strategies
23:16	KateMcTiriss	i’m about to get into a part of my headcanon that I’ll probably *never* get to writing about
23:16	Djoric	still using cold war logistics
23:16	Djoric	KateMcTiriss: can't be any worse than mine. My headcanon is enough for a novel series
23:16	KateMcTiriss	but i see O5’s as real world notable figures — retired Senators, university presidents emeritus, UN chairs
23:16	djkaktus	Djoric: so I'm working on a thing
23:16	KateMcTiriss	Like, Al Gore is O5-6 in my world
23:16	djkaktus	Speaking of O5s being divorced from reality
23:17	Djoric	Mmm
23:17	Roget	KateMcTiriss: in my headcanon, JFK is 05-6. The assasination was his cover
23:17	Djoric	I don't
23:17	djkaktus	http://scpsandbox2.wikidot.com/djkaktusiv
23:17	KateMcTiriss	Roget: marry me
23:17	Roget	I also think Stalin is an 05
23:17	Roget	:D
23:17	djkaktus	Roget no Stalin is u
23:17	Djoric	same with say, the 36
23:17	Djoric	except one
23:17	Djoric	the only Thirty Sixer who was a real person was Mister Rogers
23:17	Riemann	o:
23:17	djkaktus	Hah

Have you ever heard about the bubble? It's a phrase used by democratic leaders, mostly because they're the ones who have to answer to people. When you're cut off from your constituants, surrounded by the yes-men and lackeys in politics, you get further and further disconnected from the reality of the world, until you end up with people like Nixon who aren't in it for what the job is there for. They just want power.
