Brill-I-ANT! I never believed that humour about beurocracy! Could be so amusing and entertaining! Malicious compliance, weaponized beaurocratic passive aggressive paperwork! Amazing!
The aliens hit a wall called: The E-4 Mafia. The paperwork shufflers of the military of all branches work with the same ethos, Don't Piss Us Off. Once they leave the services and became civilian beuracrats they still believe what they learned in the military: Paperwork is War.
Absolutely unrealistic. There isn't a bureaucrat or admin on Earth that can simplify or streamline let alone eliminate, paperwork. Efficiency is an unknown word in the world of paperwork.
Germans reformed and streamlined the entire name change process from taking over 6 years on average to 3 months and eliminated I think 3 different laws. And those 3 months are only in case you wanna change your mind on changing your name, otherwise it would be a matter of 3 weeks
That’s probably the reason coffee is in military field rations. I’ve seen guys take a pinch of freeze dried coffee and place it between their cheek and gum to get their coffee fix. Tried it a few times and decided to stick with tea. Downside was lack of time or ability to boil water……maybe also the caffeine rush may have not only woke you up but gave you a headache.
Mix your tea with left over tobacco and do the same thing. Longer caffeine fix. I did not like USA ration gum because it already was laced with caffeine so I used store bought gum when I could.

I'm reminded of a star trek episode where Picard used an alien race's hyper complex bureaucracy against them, something about calling a race to act as a mediator, said race was in a hibernation period that lasted for like 7 years at the time
I remember that one! Some humans had accidentally settled on a planet claimed by a very beaurocratic race who were just going to kill all the settlers before they had time to evacuate, because their agreement woth the federation said they only had to give 7 days notice. So Picard stalled them by threatening to using a clause that allows him to call for arbitration with any race he wants. And he wanted a race that was currently in hibernation, and would be for months. So they let him have a few days to evacuate the settlers
Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
See, this is how you do a Douglas Adams inspired weaponized bureaucracy story. None of that quantum physics itself running in fear of paperwork, the person who wrote this actually thought about what regulations would look like and came up with ways to maliciously apply them.
Anyone who engaged in office politics knows how vicious malicious compliance is. Especially to those unable to grasp when the regs are being manipulated. And if you can’t win with reason then bury your enemy in paperwork until they give up or get demoted. 😎
This was really quite hilarious. Ah, good old malicious compliance. One of humanity’s greatest guerrilla warfare tools. Capable of being successfully deployed against anything from the local office tyrant all the way to inter dimensional taxation. Especially anything to do with coffee.
However much I like this train of thought, I must say that it is highly unrealistical that all of the Earths bureaucracy would ever be managable out of one office, through one single man.
