> I spent my many tedious hours in L.A. traffic considering the Chesterton’s fence of social norms—why did “everyone else” act the way they did? Why care about how you look? Why care about what other people think? Why care about anything?

It could have been developed more. In the past 20 years we have questioned and often rejected so many norms, but what value did they serve in the first place?

In tech, you see many "liberal" tech companies that have moved much closer to traditional business culture vs. the other way around. Why is that?
