There are many of his generation that are victims of the "participation trophy" philosophy.
They were taught as children that no matter how little effort they put in to a task, they deserve success.
Just from that brief history and having raised kids in that period, I read the pattern.

There have always been a number of people who didn’t get off the ground floor of life. People who never left home or ones who were mostly isolated. People who didn’t talk much. The Bo Ridleys of all the neighborhoods. The people who went to work in the back rooms of companies and punched in and out. The constant drinkers who drown their anxieties.
The people who built match villages and elaborate railroads at home. Who at the turn of the 20th century lived in my great grandfather’s basement and stoked the furnace and shoveled the walks.
Always been there. Behind the scenes.
