Oh my universe! As a lifelong sci-fi nerd,, this hit me right in the hyperspace lanes!
So many of these “characters” feel like archetypes we see every day in our feeds. The strategist. The motivational sage. The hustle warrior. The viral anomaly. The growth alchemist. The AI oracle.
Each shouting into the void, hoping something sticks.
But leadership - real leadership - isn’t about transmission. It’s about presence. It’s about the quiet consistency that builds trust. The honesty that cuts through distortion fields. The courage to show up without the armor of performance.
Lady Sincerra’s final line says it all. <3
And maybe that’s the reminder we all need in this vast digital galaxy: we don’t have to be the loudest star. Just one with enough gravity to make something meaningful orbit back.
"Shouting into the void hoping something sticks" is a good characterization. It's when posting becomes one-sided communication. Checking a task off the list. Posting for posting's sake.
Without the armor of performance is a great line, too, since almost all the characters are performative and some wear armor. Lol. There's one coming next episode with a full suit of armor.
I suspect that these days people are increasingly aware of ulterior motives and intentions in communications. And particularly a lack of substance. We're disappointed when something asks for our attention and then it doesn't meet the initial expectation or leaves us disappointed or empty handed. I've felt this way after watching a movie I didn't like. Especially when I was curious to keep watching and then the ending was disappointing. I think social media posts and content are the same. If a heading/hook screams for attention, give me something to think about, something to learn, something to discuss.
I imagine that the kind of leadership you're talking about would be open to a different answer to the question "how are you" other than fine. Empathy and substance.
