Perhaps you should value knowledge over status?


It doesn't matter what I value. The people who wanna hire me for jobs or invest in my fund value status.

There's a reason companies hire people they don't need: to make themselves look bigger to investors and in the case of law firms, clients.

Analyzing complex systems from first principles and challenging decisions that have no good reason is a noble cause, but it's only useful if you have the authority to make the changes. I'm not dictator of the world, I don't get to dictate how customers, clients, or employers shall make their business and hiring decisions.
