@graceforpersonalityhires: Discernment is developed over years and with lots of practice in a very specific environment. You actually don’t know standing on the outside or on the front door step whether a system is working well or not.
Courtesy and respect are different. I think what people are asking for is common courtesy. Respect comes later, which is fine, but treat people decently anyway.

Such a key point. Because they’ve had access to unlimited information they think they’re experts in everything. When really it’s all so surface level and biased. You don’t actually know, it take true experience to know

As someone who works in universities, there's also as well as thinking they're simply able to function at a level they're not at yet, but also fundamentally not respecting expertise/experience. Social media privileges opinion as sufficient and it doesn't seem to click that 'I think' (with absolute nothing to back it up) is going to be treated with the respect that deserves in the face of genuine knowledge and deep experience. It's like bringing a marshmallow to a gun fight and being pissy people laugh.

My mentor would remind us that we haven't earned our opinion yet. Sounded harsh at the time but I totally see what he meant.

There are no “olden days”. It’s called humility. You either have it and when you show up you are pleasant and a pleasure to meet and work with and keep your eyes and ears open or you are not pleasant and immediately scanning for who’s showing YOU respect and who isn’t, where to establish your boundaries, inject yourself and opinion, etc. One of those personalities makes friends and influences people. The other one is insufferable whether anyone admits it to them or not.

Good luck telling the 22 year olds to humble themselves lmao. Tale as old as time. Personally feel the arrogance of youth is necessary for societal growth. They don’t get completely bogged down by the preexisting structures

I’m also surprised at how much Gen Z WANTS to be the authority in the room. I actually think it was awesome being 21 and wanting to learn and be mentored. It’s when you are most free to mess up and make mistakes and have others help you do that in a ‘safe’ way without having any REAL responsibility. It’s an exciting time in your life to know that you’re at the very beginning and be open to becoming someone new. It’s sad to walk in the room and feel like you are the one who has all the answers and everyone else is an idiot.

Identity politics. They have expertise because of who they are, not what they’ve done.

Shouldn’t we have an inherent respect for the system we are entering and the people there until we have enough information and experience otherwise? Seems like healthy baseline operating.

Would you say this if you worked in activism or hospitality probably not. Also should somebody who’s supporting resource destruction and water scarcity while living in a first world country the person giving advices on discernment? 😭 “lived more life.”

Right- like you gotta be able to read the room. I’m not saying change isn’t needed in some situations. But in order to make change you need buy in from others. And you’re not going to get buy in if you are both demonstrating your lack of understanding of the environment and being rude and off-putting with your “I don’t owe anyone respect” attitude. You have to be strategic and patient.

Im 43. Ive been in the "system" and not an expert by any means. I have asked you, what are your thoughts on the environmental factors with these data centers. Taking over our farmland and going into neighborhoods near schools. It is happening right by me.

It’s called perspective and you only have it once you’ve got some some experience in the rear view mirror.
