Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I'm old. What is a "sigma film bro"?
Hell if I know. I've heard the term "Sigma Grindset" before, but it can't be tied to what I'm thinking of.
You'd have to be the worst workaholic ever to be applying Six Sigma/Agile stuff to your personal life.
I think (hope) sigma grindset is a joke, in the way that it makes fun of entrepreneur influencers by being so out of line it can't possibly be true. I have however no proof to offer.
I remember it starting back on reddit in response to the whole "alpha" thing. The point was to goad the alphabros to ask "what's sigma" then hit them with "sigma nuts." They would get so pissed off, there was a whole subreddit for barbaric sigma memes mocking them and posting screenshots of sigma nuts.
Then they started taking it seriously, and the joke shifted to asking what they thought sigma meant, and the subreddit started posting screenshots of the insane replies.
Then, people started taking it TOO seriously, and everything went downhill.
Just like any good joke, someone's going to take it too literal. Sigma has been around so long that it's heavily in the category of, "satire that some didn't realize was satire and now it's unironically used".
