 He's back, he's grifting for money because his..."kissmate"...needs an invasive surgical procedure. People are skeptical, for some reason.

If Man change thing a little, making it a tiny bit worse for people, Man might tip the scale. Break the camels back. (aka people don't trust you and finally say "gently caress it, this isn't worth it" and leave thing) Twit says he gets paid to say these innovative things about things.

These execs are paying consultants because this poo poo isn't obvious to them. They can't wrap their heads around unlimited growth being impossible and customers not actually being fungible because their careers are premised in not understanding that. So they hire a shootable messenger who may or may not realize the outcome is predetermined.

There's a lot of money to be made for being able to, as a third party, clearly and digestibly tell people why their ideas are loving stupid Do they listen to you? No, of course not, but you've got their money, so.

Amazing.

He's got a decently arresting hook/punt style that works well for tweets and his use of the Thermocline concept is exactly the kind of pseudointellectual brine that you want to communicate with pseudointellectuals like failsons and-- frankly-- us. Like it or not, that's good. He probably also gives out a lot of handjobs, figurative and quite possibly literal, and most of getting where he is involved fighting in the dogpits against other wannabe Diogenes to be the master's favorite so even if that's not commendable it's a twisted "prison yard" kind-of respectable, if it means being able to say some common sense poo poo and get paid. And yeah I wish I could get paid for it too. I've been telling rich people that their ideas are poo poo and they're doing harm for decades too and I never got a massive paycheck for it. But my handjobs are loving garbage, so

As a consultant, quit blowing up our spot. They paid a lot of money for goober to tell them they’re loving up some basic premise so you’ve got to dress it up a bit so they feel like they spent that money well. Almost 100% of the time they’re over engineered something and the simple solution is the best one. If it isn’t, simply asking one of the boots on the ground people what they figure the fix is will get you where you need to go. Leadership can’t see the trees for the forest more often than not.

Thermoclines don't even feel like a good metaphor here. You can just swim back up into the warm part of the thermocline, and one of the main points of the thread is that it's hard to get back to a previous state. It's not like thermoclines (at least as far as I know) have a riptide that drags you ever-deeper into the cold parts. When someone drops your product, recent changes are just the straw that broke the camel's back. You're not noticing the ever-growing piles of straw on the back of every other camel because the only thing you're paying attention to is when people actually leave. Trust is easier to lose than regain: you, running the business, can easily add straw by degrading the platform/product, but you need to wait for the customers to gradually build trust back up, removing the straw on their own timeframes.

It's not about making use of it correctly, it's about letting you know that they know how to spell thermoclines and maybe even know what it means.

It's not like thermoclines (at least as far as I know) have a riptide that drags you ever-deeper into the cold parts. It'd probably be more apt if they used the imagery of scuba divers that go deep, panic, forget everything they've ever learned due to multiple internal and external reasons, and die, but one message is a lot less threatening and morbid than the other. Sure, I think the diver message could work, but it also takes a special kind of personality to make it so to people who aren't terminally online.
