Yes, I am saying people in aggregate are fundamentally weak. Certain individuals can overcome weaknesses but in aggregate we can't.
>I fundamentally don’t agree. It’s simple: prioritize dignity in yourself and the world will give it
Then you fundamentally don't agree with reality. Tell that dignity thing to a drug addict. Tell him to Prioritize his dignity and stop doing heroin. End the drug problem because people are strong. A few people will listen. In aggregate, nothing changes.
>I don’t accept interviews where i’m required to dance. My career has only gotten better since I made that choice.
On one hand you have control. On the other hand maybe you don't dance because you can't dance. There are people where "dancing" is equivalent to donating a dime to charity. A Trivial effort. To them the interview process is the equivalent of giving a dime in return for half a million dollars. Why the hell not?
>Even on the individual level you can make this right. It just takes effort.
The individual level is the only place where someone can refuse to "dance." For the industry to change it has to happen in aggregate. The aggregate change is impossible. There will always be people willing to dance, and there will always be people where "dancing" is a zero effort hand wave.

The path of least resistance long run is demand dignity. The path of more resistance long term but ease short term is accept undignifying circumstances
You can make your situation and the worlds better by doing the right thing. Or you can sit and argue to a stranger why it’s ‘impossible’ to tell a potential employer to pound sand when they ask you to do something demeaning
Choice is yours

Did you not read what I wrote? You or I both doing the right thing changes nothing.
