clone of saturn comments on My experience at and around MIRI and CFAR (inspired by Zoe Curzi’s writeup of experiences at Leverage)

(Possibly relevant: I don’t recognize the term “space monkey” and don’t know what it means either denotatively or connotatively, except that the connotation is clearly negative. Something drug related?)

I would guess it’s a reference to the movie Fight Club.
