As a kid i was fascinated by the myths of causal paradox and the Oedipal Effect. The Iran Israel war is our generation's causal paradox story.

Almost all cultures have a myth of a self-fulfilling prophecy -- usually it's a literal prophecy that is fulfilled by the very efforts made to prevent it:

- Moses and the Pharoh
- Odin and Ragnarok
- Kaveh, Fereydoun and Zahhak
- Story of Oedipus

the irony of the CEO/+HR Lady at Cold Play situation is that if they hadn't reacted they way they did they probably wouldn't have been discovered.

the reaction itself made the video get leaked and go viral. 

the causal paradox -- this idea of causing something to happen by trying to prevent is as old as time.

Yep was thinking the same thing, they could’ve just played it cool and been fine
