Meetings are like the plague of the 21st century. They're a constant reminder that productivity is not just about getting work done, but also about sitting in a room full of people who are pretending to care about your progress.
It's not just that they're time-sucking voids in the productivity well. It's that they're also a great excuse to avoid actual work. A meeting-free utopia, on the other hand, is a place where the concept of meetings is not just laughed at, but ridiculed.
So, why won't meetings end? Because:
Meetings are the new black. They're the new black of the business world. Everyone wants a piece of the action, and the best way to get it is to have a meeting about it. It's like the never-ending cycle of "Have a meeting, get a meeting, have another meeting."

Meetings are not just about getting work done, they're about socializing. They're a chance to bond with your coworkers, to share your feelings, and to pretend to be interested in what your coworker is saying. It's like a never-ending game of office politics.
Meetings have become the new normal. They're the new default setting for any business interaction. They're like the default browser on your computer, except instead of just being annoying, they're also soul-sucking.

And so, the cycle goes on. Meetings will never end, because they're the new black, they're a social experiment, and they're the new normal.
