I'm an anarchist, and my take is that anarchism isn't pacifism, and "no coercion" is a bad summary. It's more about the absence of hierarchical coercion and instead distribution of power to all people and communities.
If you're going around burning down houses, your anarchist neighbors are going to use force to take away your matches and gasoline if you don't stop.
Why not put the bridge somewhere internal, then? It's not like it needs windows.

I love my stream of Star Trek shitpost.
It's all bullshit, and you've hit the nail on the head.
The only way out is through each other: change your workplace to be less bullshit. Demand dignity. Maybe bring your friends and make a co-op.
Ironically, as I've become more senior (11+ years at a faang company) I've had to do less and less of that "look around and understand everything" work because of time pressure. But I rely on my experience to be more confident that I can ignore the details and focus on the reason I'm in this file.
Well, that, and if it gets too messy I give up and call in a junior engineer...
Constant capitalist and corporatist propaganda: I sleep

"well actually" room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! ... But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature%20superconductivity%20in%20hydrides.pdf
Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.
I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.
One way you might resolve this is to get everybody talking about it without the boss there. I bet nobody likes the policy. Maybe everyone would agree to not give a reason, or to give the same reason that is an obvious lie?
I fondly remember my organic chemistry lab professor giving us all a lecture that was something like this:
"I see that you children have learned how good acetone is at cleaning glassware. And you are correct: it is excellent. However, you cannot pour it down the sink and we have to pay for hazardous waste disposal. So use soap, water, and elbow grease instead."
