Jesse Armstrong, creator of the hit streaming series Succession, is out with a new creative project on his favorite subject: the super rich.
Here’s a quick guide to the Mountainhead lexicon and what it reveals about the current zeitgeist.
p(doom): An inside joke among the AI-literate, p(doom) is the probability of an AI-induced societal collapse..
Disrupting the blood: Not a real phrase, but a plausible one. This is a Mountainhead-ism for murdering someone.
Same-page it: Tech bros tend to verbify idiomatic concepts, like “getting everyone on the same page.” Another example from this genre would be “Don’t doom-loop it!”
7-star: For Mountainhead’s bros, fleeing to a 7-star resort in Asia is an option should the world collapse. To be clear, this is an unofficial category, used to label hotels that make 5-star hotels look like Motel 6s.
