My SO is in tech and so are most of my close friends (I live in the Bay Area) - the biggest issue I’ve found is their automatic assumption that they’re smarter than everyone in every room and that they can ‘google’ away their legal issues.

A little under 2 months as a first year associate in tas and I still feel like I'm not adding enough value.

Have been discussing Neitzsche's Parable of a Madman in my English 10 class. It's super cool how a prominant atheist's message about what you should place your hope/trust in has actually opened the door for tons of discussion about how everyone (atheists and theists) at some point need to grapple with the question: What is the source of your truth and morals? And in this parable, Nietzsche kindof admits/laments that this is a tough question for atheists to answer.
