#713 - Rob Henderson - Why Is Everyone Acting Like A Victim?
Modern Wisdom
Victimhood Culture & Societal Splitting
- Modern society lacks sufficient challenges, leading to a rise in victimhood culture as individuals seek imagined challenges.
- This has created a barbell effect: some lean into self-pity, while others embrace self-improvement.
- Assortative mating exacerbates this divide, with similar individuals partnering, leading to genetic and psychological divergence, like conscientious people having more conscientious kids.
- This heritable psychological echo, combined with factors like two-parent privilege, intensifies the Matthew effect, widening the gap between those who have and those who have not.
