In a half-assed documentary on New Kdm of Egypt, a besieged city (Jericho I think) featured a pile of corn kernels to show they had food and could hold out for a while. Genius.
That’s what you get in a depraved culture where everyone is special and has a full box of 11th place trophies. Nobody is forced to excel so they do not develop a need to win, a strong work ethic or to truly master their craft.
