Technical Capability as a Moral Weight... I don't know if I'm wrong about this, but sometimes things are the way they are for a reason. And your job is to figure out the culture of the institution that you're working. The frustrating thing is when the people in that institution don't give you context. Like there's a history to things ... it's important to understand that. And you're trying to make money and not waste time. But given a different arena, maybe this is a good strategy. Like ignoring something, just will make your life miserable. So you might as well just deal with it. But then at the same time, if you deal with it, and you affect other people, what have you done caused friction, which gets in the way of production. Like at first I was just gonna mouth off that maybe it's a little narcissistic but then at the same time, it might not be. Maybe someone should just ask before doing something. And hopefully the group is somewhat democratic, or at least has strong leadership that doesn't leave you in a state of ambiguous confusion. It's kind of like a fucking paradox. I think I would ask before doing something.
