Awake at the Wheel | Ep 61
In this episode, Malini and DocAmitay discuss the victimhood mentality that is increasingly prevalent in society. They reference a study called the Dartmouth scar experiment, which showed that individuals who believed they were at a disadvantage perceived discrimination even when it didn't exist. They highlight the crisis of replication and poor methodology in social psychology and emphasize the importance of taking personal accountability and overcoming adversity. They discuss the negative consequences of fostering a sense of entitlement and the need for parents to teach their children problem-solving skills and resilience. They also critique the trend of eliminating challenges and accommodations in education and the workplace, which ultimately leads to a self-serving and entitled society.
