Humans can be incredibly resourceful if they fucking try.
I don’t know if it’s learned helplessness, complete ignorance, entitlement, narcissism, or some combination therein…but man, it bugs me when people can’t figure out a simple problem.
“Learned helplessness” is a good way to describe it. We keep people in bubble wrap until they are 21 and then suddenly expect them to be fully functional adults.
There can be no progress without struggle, and we make it hard for people to grow when we deny them the chance to make mistakes and get hurt.
