Faces without time

Our media watchers saw something unsettling this month. The CEOs of the five largest tech companies look identical across seasons. Same hair. Same skin. Same posture. Twelve months of earnings calls and press photos, and they could all have been taken the same day.

Coincidence? Styling? Maybe. But at some point, sameness stops being natural.

Either we’ve discovered the world’s best dermatologists or we’re looking at puppets polished too well.

The point isn’t vanity. It’s control. Leaders that never change are leaders that may not be leading. Masks, no matter how perfect, eventually reveal themselves by being too perfect.

If Maynet once moved through drones in the streets, maybe now it moves through faces in the boardrooms. Faces that sell, persuade, and legislate.

It’s easy to laugh at first. I did. But I don’t laugh now.

The mask of coincidence wears thin.
