Sometimes you’re desperate and will do things you otherwise wouldn’t. That isn’t and should be thought of as the norm
Here's the thing, when you look at the behavior of large groups of people the overall incentive is the overall outcome. As an individual you can resist but groups act predictably and follow straightforward patterns.
Think of it like drugs. You going to tell people to stop doing heroin and end the problem forever? No. You gonna tell people to stop dancing and end the problem forever? No.
The only thing that will bend the industry in favor of your idea is software unions. Centralized control can influence individuals to act in cohesion. Without leadership the short term incentive wins.
I fundamentally don’t agree. It’s simple: prioritize dignity in yourself and the world will give it
I don’t accept interviews where i’m required to dance. My career has only gotten better since I made that choice.
Even on the individual level you can make this right. It just takes effort.
Yes, I am saying people in aggregate are fundamentally weak. Certain individuals can overcome weaknesses but in aggregate we can't.
>I fundamentally don’t agree. It’s simple: prioritize dignity in yourself and the world will give it
Then you fundamentally don't agree with reality. Tell that dignity thing to a drug addict. Tell him to Prioritize his dignity and stop doing heroin. End the drug problem because people are strong. A few people will listen. In aggregate, nothing changes.
>I don’t accept interviews where i’m required to dance. My career has only gotten better since I made that choice.
On one hand you have control. On the other hand maybe you don't dance because you can't dance. There are people where "dancing" is equivalent to donating a dime to charity. A Trivial effort. To them the interview process is the equivalent of giving a dime in return for half a million dollars. Why the hell not?
>Even on the individual level you can make this right. It just takes effort.
The individual level is the only place where someone can refuse to "dance." For the industry to change it has to happen in aggregate. The aggregate change is impossible. There will always be people willing to dance, and there will always be people where "dancing" is a zero effort hand wave.
