Constellation of Arachnid Spies:

Hasty Initial Analysis and Report,

Subject to Revision and Correction.

Subject: Maxie C Jackson III, Human

This particular human appears to the Constellation of Arachnid Spies, as evaluated by relevant colloquy, to be at first sight a low-level low-achievement media management drone of some sort, with little distinction.

We hasten to add, to repeat, that this is a first overview, based on limited information and within time constraints.

He describes himself, professionally, as a ‘Change Agent, Innovator, and Multifarious Content Creator’ in the Washington DC Metro Area.

We have no idea what this means, actually.

The arachnid colloquy is unable to assign any actual meaning to this self-description, but assumes it’s typical human organizational buzz-nonsense.

It’s also, the colloquy feels, impossible to evaluate, which the colloquy feels is quite possibly a deliberate feature.

A valued feature.

His stated educational background consists of a BA from Morehouse and an MA from MSU, both in ‘Mass Communications’ and ‘Telecommunications’ with ‘Management’ as appendments. Note: This is not an MBA or equivalent in any way. These are gut courses and gut degrees, in both human and archnid terms.

Nor are these Harvard, the Sloan School, Wharton, Stanford, etc etc.

Not even close.

No academic distinction is stated or claimed.

His presently available CV clearly favors massive gobbledygook and meaningless buzzwords of the customary and expected sort, with no indication of actual significant or meaningful accomplishment, nor of significant awards, which are generally given freely in media.

At present he may be self-unemployed with MaxWorx Media – this is unclear as is the actual character of his previous positions in that positions are identified but actual claims of accomplishment and advancement reflecting accomplishment, ordinarily customary if not pro forma, appear to be absent.

The arachnid colloquy briefly considered the possibility of his having actual achievements, accomplishments, awards and the like, but preferring to conceal them from a sense of modesty or a need for secrecy… but this seems unlikely.

The colloquy has limited ability to make sense of CV’s of this sort, as they include very few bits of actual information as opposed to various bits of puffery and time-gaps here and there.

This particular human’s focus appears to be on racial considerations in broadcast.

This, for example, is his description of his present focus:

Public Media Consultant specializing in analysis, innovation and cultivation. Actively engaged in providing solutions to public media challenges relative to diversity, inclusion and the opportunity in serving emerging demographics. Producer of Dreams for NYC Inspired by MLK live event at the Apollo Theater. Provides strategic consulting services for MAG Advisors Group/VME Television (spanish language public television service), WMNF (Tampa Bay, FL community radio station), WJSU (Jackson, MS African American public radio station), WVAS (Montgomery, AL African American public radio station), and Next Tier Solutions (public media diversity initiative - New Vision New Voices).

The Arachnid Colloquy, in summary, while aware of this particular present human fixation is understandably able to offer only limited insight.

None, pretty much.

It does appear, however, to be in conformity with Pacifica ‘Values’ with respect to an emphasis on aspects of official ‘minority’ status.

Perhaps, therefore, for Pacifica, an ideal candidate.

Of particular note, the colloquy feels, there is no claim or any evidence of turnaround ability.

Nor of the ability to draw forth function from profound strife and dysfunction.

Nor of creative brilliance as to programming.

The colloquy wondered if there might be some evidence of miraculous previously secret or otherwise invisible qualifications…?

We should note that when this first report was first presented to Indigo Pirate, Spider Friend, he appeared to be less than impressed.

We share his perception and judgement,

Sincerely,

Wolf Spider
