I've been working on a project with a large group and two of the members have been servile to the point where they won't identify issues when they see them. Or rather are just completely blind to them if it means having to suggest alternative actions and it's honestly the most infuriating thing to watch.
I can see how people like this succeed but it also makes clear how high level failures can occur.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 90%. (I'm a bot)
> Vice President Mike Pence visits the molecular testing lab at Mayo Clinic.
> It's understood that a man like Vice President Mike Pence - whose most viral moment came when he touched a piece of NASA's equipment marked "DO NOT TOUCH" - certainly doesn't.
> His performance earlier this week during a visit to the Mayo Clinic was a new low.
> On Tuesday, Pence dropped by the Rochester, Minnesota branch of the Mayo Clinic, which is consistently ranked as the top hospital in the United States, to meet with plasma donors and healthcare workers, and visit a coronavirus testing lab.
> Even knowing all these things, for the multitude of us who actually care about patients, this entire Pence episode somehow still really takes the goddamn biscuit.
> Pence never had to take an oath of that order, so he apparently considers himself free to wreak whatever havoc he likes.

Even if deities actually existed, exactly why do they demand all the praying, prostration, reverence and energy from us? And since they demand such, why would being with them for eternity actually be a good thing?
It seems that deities, if they existed at all, are just another being with intelligence and lots of powers. So respect is deserved but any more than that seems to be debasing your own dignity.
