Meetings: Science 101

Meetings: the art of gathering around a table, staring blankly into space, and pretending to care. But what exactly is this mystical phenomenon?

Meetings can be broken down into three main categories:

• Meetings about meetings: the study of meetings themselves, a self-sustaining cycle of inefficiency.
• Meetings about things, not meetings: a distraction from the true art of meetings, where productivity is sacrificed for the sake of socializing.
• Meetings that are just excuses for meetings: the pinnacle of human ingenuity, where the absence of content is compensated by an abundance of awkward silences.
