Power and Social Norms
Michael explores how social norms within powerful groups can lead to behaviors that may seem misaligned with broader societal values. He emphasizes that rather than a clear divide between good and evil, it's often the case that individuals in these environments are trying to do good, even if their actions appear unusual to outsiders. This nuanced understanding reveals the complexities of professional cultures, such as finance and academia, where certain activities serve purposes that may not be immediately obvious to those outside the field.In this clip
