I've found out that extrovert crowd is often also the crowd who will say things like:
- I am sure we'll figure it out later
- Well, this might be problematic in the future, but will give us such big gains in the short term (by which time they already happily moved their show to another company, leaving the quiet ones to deal with what they left behind)
- Great job, team, we managed to fix the problem/disaster/oil spill (who caused it in the first place).
- I am healthy, I can take the risk of not having a mask (and not thinking of the immunocompromised and the old)
We should, imo, treat people like that not only with unease that one reserves for charlatans, mystics and mime performers. We should actively show them that their loud, rude, obnoxious and overbearing ways deserve a bit of our scorn as well. Let's stop not only following loud fools, but even listening to them. They crave our attention, let's stop giving it to them.

The same way cancer cells are life. They excess and proliferate.
