I had suspicions about Slack's connections to the Church of the SubGenius, but I was obviously unable to prove anything concrete.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Conspiracy_and_%22Slack%22" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius#Conspi...</a><p><pre><code> SubGenius members believe that those in the service of the conspiracy seek to bar them from "Slack",[27] a quality promoted by the Church. Its teachings center on "Slack"[5] (always capitalized),[20] which is never concisely defined, though Dobbs is said to embody it.[2][29] Church members seek to acquire Slack and believe it will allow them the free, comfortable life (without hard work or responsibility) they claim as an entitlement.[14][30] Sex and the avoidance of work are taught as two key ways to gain Slack.[20] Davidoff believes that Slack is "the ability to effortlessly achieve your goals".[27] Cusack states that the Church's description of Slack as ineffable recalls the way that Tao is described,[9] and Kirby calls Slack a "unique magical system".[31]

Are the founders/leaders of Slack.com involved with this so-called "Church"? (Actually a parody religion that hates Christianity.)<p>Surely, the naming of their flagship app cannot be a mere coincidence or accident. It seems absurd that business managers who value productivity should introduce an app named "Slack" without some weird incentives.
