17. BTW, the totem pole phrase has it backwards.

Just an FYI, it is generally figures at the bottom of the totem pole who are the most important, revered, and often the most finely detailed. If you're at the top, who's gonna see you?

Not particularly relevant to 47's musings on where he's heading, but it is a little pet peeve.

As far as 47 goes, I wonder what prompted " I’m hearing [that] I’m not doing well. I hear I’m at the bottom of the totem pole."

Who is he hearing from? Is the "news" (old news to anyone with any sensory apparatus whatsoever) of how deeply hated he and everything he is doing is filtering past the wall of sycophants that protect him from reality? Is it beginning to dawn on him that he is a very, very, very bad man?
