MEME REFERENCE
Pinky and the brain
Use when someone returns to the same wildly ambitious plan despite a long record of failure.
- What it expresses
- Grandiose confidence resets nightly while previous defeats are cheerfully ignored.
- Example
- Your friend announces yet another elaborate side business after abandoning the last six, and you ask what they are doing tonight.
- When not to use it
- A founder revises a plan using lessons from a failed trial; evidence-based iteration is not the Brain's unchanged ritual.
