Always be looking for a new job, as that is a kind of power you give yourself. You can always refuse an offer, but you won't know what's out there that could be better without looking. You may suddenly have the freedom to leave from what's coming in six months that is making the rounds in the rumor pool. If something happens that you have to quit right then or get let off, you might be months to most of a year into the interview process for that one company that takes a year to make a decision. Also, you start getting so used to the process that the stress of interviews and applications plummets.
You might find the perfect position and work somewhere long enough to get your gold watch. Applying to new jobs does not prevent that. Just keeping your options open.

I don't get it. Why would you need to balance those three factors (centrality, . -- - 4: 10? And balance them against what exactly? Not against each other right? That would make no sense at all.
Shouldn't we simply strive to minimize the power others hold over us, and or keep it to a degree we find acceptable? So you would for example let someone you trust, hold more power over you than someone you don't trust.
Is that what you're referring to? Or was this about what was brought up later in the video, about balancing your power (unions) against the power of others (e. g. your employer?
I honestly find this part very confusing and/or worded really poorly.

The game-dev example doesn't work because the employee isn't expendable since the time to train a new employee and get them up and running with a deadline looming is likely to cause a lot of problems and possibly even kill the project depending on the employee's job.

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, -
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold. -
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old-
For the union makes us strong.

A book I'm currently reading on Amazon kindle titled Cerebral Currency brought me here. Great book! I highly recommend for peeps like me in their twenties. It made me start doing research on a lot of personal development strategies.

Hey Crash Course, I love your videos and watch them every night before bed!
I was really hoping you-d restart covering more literary topics though!

Didn-t they unionize car washes in New York? How did that go for those workers? Don-t let this kind of thing get you fired.
