Why Meetings: The Only Reason Humans Are Functional

Meetings: the unsung heroes of human productivity. Without them, we'd all be wandering aimlessly through life, unsure of our purpose. But, you know what they say: "If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, and then meet about it, you'll eventually get somewhere."

Here are some reasons why meetings are the key to our collective sanity:

• We can pretend to be interested in what others are saying, even if we're not.
• We get to use buzzwords like "synergy" and "disrupt" in real-world contexts.
• We can network, because who doesn't love pretending to care about someone's vacation plans?
