But what we don't often think about are the consequences and the costs of complying, because there's a lot of costs for continually complying with other people and putting aside your values.

the big heroes that defied and had huge moments like Rosa Parks saying, no, I'm not going to move on the bus. There were lots of compliance moments before that moment.

Because if we can then visualize it, if we can anticipate it, then that takes away the surprise, right? So the next time I was asked to go for some more radiation that I didn't need, I wasn't as surprised. I was anticipating it.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. That anticipation is so key. There's this famous saying that's often attributed to Bruce Lee, but it's actually a Greek poet that said like under duress.
