[R_D_Olivaw]

Ive found it useful to regard MBAs and the entire pipeline from education to managing companies for MBAs akin to a clergy class.

They spend so much time and effort learning the scripture and then are praised as having some sort of intimate knowledge of business practices and working towards the ever growing prophet (read: profit).

Their forecasts akin to divination (but with charts and graphs, oh my!)

In this context, it's helped me understand, or at least create a useful caricature of what must be going on in those spaces where everyone drinks the kool aid of "there is only the next quarter".
