one of the easiest ways to develop is to kinda simulate being a person that you look up to, like a child in the sandpit pretending to be a construction worker, playact "as if" you had some of the qualities of the people whose maturity you respect
it's easier to host a complicated group process on Zoom than face-to-face because people take the authoritarian constraints of the digital platform for granted
being in a room together invites more negotiation and confrontation with the fuzzy edges of authority
feel bad for all the people with actual rigorous knowledge meanwhile vibesy guessers & syncretists like me get all the attention for a fraction of the effort 🤷
