Ask HN: How do I thrive as part of an unambitious team?

I like my team on a personal level but not on a professional level. The team does not seem to be interested in learning, professional growth, or improving anything. They prioritize team events such as happy hour and hiring those that are “cool” rather than skilled… to a detriment. Can you individually succeed in an environment like this or will the teams priorities drag you down?
