whack-a-mole with recency bias is how I think of it

Another way to look at it is people have their own process and way of doing things, and this “stupidity” is not actually what’s bothering you, but maybe it’s the difference between how you and they do things

I always hated "looking intelligent", there was this idea in "the black swan" by Rafael Sabatini , the hero was described as being at his most dangerous when he seemed most relaxed. So when I'm handling highest amount of overload I try to seem relaxed.

The sharper, more actively intelligent, the more harm we are causing anyway. Best course to sink into a dull stupor and watch the world.

But the whole giving perception of looking relaxed and laid off also has shortcomings, I know what I'm dealing with, other people think I'm lounging around basking in my glory while not focusing on cool social justice issues

But the alternative of looking frazzled and hyper angsty, "trying" to prove myself "smart" in conversations sounds too classless to me. Sadly tech culture is oriented towards people who sound smart/thoughtful even if its not fun/objectively always useful.

Like when I was in Waterloo, the internship one-upping game was everywhere, each convo seemed like I know more than you initially. But later I decided to build my skills up in deep learning but follow my own culture. Being competent != working on seeming competent IMO

And being calm and laid back while stretching from comfort zone is extremely underrated in tech. At this point I'm just fine with letting people make their own conclusions about me. I'm not going to work hard on them to show my positive if they are not showing any investment.
