#713 - Rob Henderson - Why Is Everyone Acting Like A Victim?
Modern Wisdom
The Widespread Culture of Victimhood and the Divergence of Attitudes
The speaker discusses the rise of victimhood culture, attributing it to the human system's desire for challenges exceeding modern realities, leading to imagined challenges. They highlight a trend of fragility and externalizing locus of control. There is a noted divergence in attitudes, with some embracing challenges while others lean into victimhood. The concept of assortative mating is mentioned, where like-minded individuals partner, potentially leading to genetic and psychological divergence. The Matthew effect is predicted to continue widening the gap between the privileged and underprivileged. It is suggested that genetic factors may play a role in the prevalence of autism in children in Silicon Valley. Lastly, the idea of social status being inherited across generations is explored, indicating a persistence of wealth and influence within certain lineages.
