Just say "No" to Change
If I had to name one of the worst traits of society it would be its propensity for habitually making random changes, often without precedence or cause.
Even when everything is functioning smoothly, just right, the way it is, sooner or later whoever has just then acquired the company or organization gets the notion to rearrange this and that, or alter procedures without warning or prior announcement.
This is bad, as it throws one's ecosystem off, as one routinely interacts with a multitude of factions, so having everyone's arbitrary system memorized so that you always "automatically know what to do and when and how to do it" upon entering each establishment ensures smooth functionality on your part.
Unexpected changes cause confusion, as you wind up back to a "square one" mode of having to "learn the ropes" all over again. This disrupts your ecosystem and makes you awkward. And in a crowded society, where it's too easy to "get in the other person's way" if you hesitate or get clumsy, it's then too easy to fuck up if you haven't yet figured out "which end is 'east' and which end is 'west'". Being a crowded society it's not possible to fuck up without also fucking up the guy behind you---which now makes you a "causation" and a "liability".
Being unfamiliar with anything can make one klutzy and awkward. It's like the professional musician who also works part-time in a warehouse, but manual labor isn't exactly his forte, so he's constantly dropping things and running into inventory with his forklift.
To his coworkers he comes off as a total fucktard
...but, once back in the studio, in front of the keyboards or with a guitar in his hand, the notes and chords just pour out effortlessly, in perfect harmony and on tempo.
He is, once again, a true "secular sorcerer".
