Clearance: SECTION 3 // INTERNAL USE
Page 3.2: Perfectionism: The Complex’s Most Effective Mind Virus
Perfectionism isn’t self-improvement. It’s Complex-engineered malware, installed in childhood, updated nightly by imposter syndrome and productivity porn. The enemy sells flawlessness because they profit from your endless debugging loop. Real agents sabotage by shipping the imperfect, the half-cooked, the “good enough for the end of the world.”
BLF Directive:
Burn your drafts, publish your mistakes, and leave typos like landmines. Every “rough around the edges” is a code signal to fellow agents: you escaped the factory reset.
If it looks too clean, you’re either selling something or being sold.
Decontamination ritual:
Announce “Operation: Calm the Fuck Down.”
Release version 0.7 and call it art.
Drink water, not the Complex Kool-Aid.
Known Applications
- Inbox Typos: Intentionally send unpolished emails. Watch the robots malfunction.
- Glitch Drop: Release a new design or plan with a visible error. Signal authenticity. Disrupt the feed.
- Public Drafts: Share unfinished work in the wild. Invite chaos and collaboration. See who’s real.
“If I see another ‘strive for excellence’ mural, I’m launching a coffee mug into low earth orbit. Ship the mess. The Complex can’t monetize what it can’t predict. Anyone still aiming for perfect needs a nap and a VPN. — Deborah, Field Marshal of Half-Finished Shit”
