Just wondering what the qualifications are for working in the USPTO are. Do you have to be fully cut off from the modern world and be strongly against innovation?

How is it even possible to patent such fundamental concepts? I bet they would approve a patent for "A system for transferring audio to the ears via vibrations in the surrounding air (sound waves)" AKA speakers. Then you could sue not just the podcasters, but the listeners too.
