Insecure people pretend to know things they don't. They dismiss expertise from others.
Secure people admit what they don't know. They defer to expertise in others.

X : I doubt it
Me : Then super low priority.

If you’re upset that a videogame reveal got delayed because the entire world is protesting racism and police brutality then you’re part of the problem
pretending its not your problem and looking the other way is the problem
