This was going to be a blog post, but then I realised I didn't have anything else to say other than:
1. 'Professionalism' is a stick with which hierarchical discipline is enacted
2. Encouragements to 'act professionally' are a way to drain the personality out of someone in order for them to behave less like a human, and more like a cog in a machine
3. Being a 'professional' largely means being held to someone else's standards
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk (sorry it didn't last 15 mins)
