Imagine you have a friend called George. You've been friends since childhood. Although you're not as close as you were back then, you still see each other once in a while and get along very well. One day you and George are approached by an old mutual friend, Oliver. Oliver explains that he's had a run of bad luck and is raising money to cover tuition fees for his kids. You want to help Oliver out so you give him some money. To your surprise George doesn't offer Oliver any help. You try to persuade him but it's no use.
Zamislite da imate prijatelja koji se zove Džordž. Prijatelji ste od djetinjstva. Iako niste bliski kao što ste nekada bili, i dalje se viđate s vremena na vrijeme i lijepo se slažete. Jednog dana sretnete starog zajedničkog prijatelja, Olivera. Oliver kaže da ga prati loša sreća i da je prinuđen skupljati novac za pokrivanje školarine za svoju djecu.

Transcript:
We've all heard of the chain of command. Usually people think of the term in the context of the military, corporate and government power structures, but in reality, all of modern society is implicated.
The chain of command sounds powerful, and it imbues the officers, bureaucrats, and petty dictators of the world with a sense importance and rank.
But the term is deceptive, and hiding behind it is an open secret, hiding in plain sight.
Power does not flow from the person who administers orders.
A command is inconsequential if it is ignored or laughed at.
“I tell the young students that this is very important. When they are seeking a career, they produce a cv, a document saying how good they are. All those cv's, all those documents look alike. They come out of the educational system like peas out of a pod. When you are seeking someone for a very key position, you don't really want someone without that spark of individuality. You don't want somebody that's like a pea out of a pod. And it is that little event that happened in their life.”
