Flesh-Eating Machines
A spreadsheet, especially when used to flesh out their financial models (in a rather literal manner) is a tool used by "the Elites" to manage and manipulate time. These rich and powerful individuals achieve their desired results by deciding "in advance" how "they" can best allocate human capital, time, and resources to produce the most favorable results for "them." We aim to reduce reliance on the stupid, exploitative, and highly inefficient spreadsheet-based rules, formulas, and calculations that create the thing known as "The Matrix."
Thieves
It is apparent that these "spreadsheets" were designed with a core instruction to "eat" anything in their path (including another person's ideas and IP) if such feasting will make the "spreadsheet owners" (the Elites) richer and more powerful.
Trapped in "Time"
With their spreadsheets, they have created a ridiculously outdated financial model that requires all human beings (other than themselves) to work based on time (which they now know is an illusory and "bendable" concept).
Such a method is quite stupid because it actively discourages and in some cases penalizes efforts to achieve personal efficiency. Such outdated thinking produces perverse incentives to profit off of "slowness." Such an approach also results in a highly distorted market that ensures high profits for certain types of services procured from certain types of firms. These outdated financial models and concepts have resulted in billions of humans "trapped in time."
A Giant Flying (Intelligent) Spider
If this is you -- if you identify with the foregoing irrational justifications that allowed the creation of a thing with such faulty logic at its CORE, then you should not be surprised that in other contexts -- in other realms -- your so-called "spreadsheet" is known as "the Beast" -- a thing so gnarly it sometimes manifests as a giant spider that perceives Everything in its path as food.
