Anecdotal, but this has largely not been my experience. What I've seen is that Americans tend to be more self-directed and willing to question/bend rules to get stuff done which often provides the je ne sais quoi needed to make stuff happen. On the flip side, I've noticed that foreign workers tend to care more about hierarchy and following the rules as written I'm in Chile visiting family right now and I've noticed that same vibe here too. Customer service is ass because people defer to bureaucracy to justify their inability to help This also goes against what I've heard in terms of US vs European culture, where the prevailing thought is that Americans work harder (apologies to my /europoooooor friends) In conclusion, lol what the fuck is the talking about

malcolm gladwell wrote about an interesting study about this re: foreign (asian) cultures caring about heirarchy asian pilots flying asian airlines had a higher rate of crashes because culturally the junior pilot was brought up not to question authority, so wouldn’t disagree with the senior pilot even if they were wrong. other cultures don’t have the same regard for seniority or heirarchy, so the junior pilot would always question or speak up against the senior pilot which would lead to better and safer outcomes. I read this awhile ago so need to check if it’s still true or has been debunked, but it’s stuck with me since.

Questioning authority is in America's DNA One of the things that makes me most bullish on this country
