Mada turns attention toward the image we try to maintain. Confidence can help us act; the difficulty comes when protecting that image leaves little room for feedback, uncertainty or another person's experience.

The snake from 24, Bad company, ends at 7. One possible reading is that a group can reward appearances so strongly that being admired becomes more important than learning. This is a question about an interaction, not a label for a person or community.

You might think of a recent disagreement. Was there a point you wanted to understand, or a position you felt you had to defend? Naming something you do not yet know can sometimes reopen a conversation.
