I have continued corresponding with this student and will share a link to this post. What's interesting in the cartoon / animation is where we start seeing shafts of light and here people just wanna be good (at something). That looks a lot like the religion model i.e. religion better answers these needs than businesses. But then immediately we have to ask: what's the difference (between religion and business -- both involve branding for example). In a way it's just our mental categories that get in the way. "We" (amorphous we) approach the world with messy namespaces.
