I think a lot of that starts in our education system. We tell kids they are a wonderful and we don’t really let them fail (not 100% but to a great extent). They parents follow that protocol as well.
I have said for a long time that we are going to have a bunch of bitter 40 year olds one day who don’t understand why they weren’t really able to be a Dr. or the President, after all they were always told they could be whatever they wanted to be.

First test was taken in a normal classroom environment. Second test was taken in a classroom decorated like the Black Panther headquarters.
