UNSCRIPTED Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship ( PDFDrive )


participative prodigies worthy of a crown, a stage, and an audience. Sometimes
trophy kids take the stage on 
American Idol
as horrific singers, making for great
laughs and ratings. Underneath these failed performances are delusional vocalists
who have fallen for the special scam—they believed the counterfeit adulation
showered upon them from prejudiced stakeholders: parents, siblings, and
friends. And the next thing you know, Simon Cowell is grimacing and telling
talentless crooners to pound sand.
Take Instagram, for instance. In my opinion, it’s one gigantic shit-show of
self-important narcissism. Some people have Instagram accounts with over 1,000
photos posted. The 1,000 photos are not what’s impressively sad; it’s that those
photos are of themselves in various stages of flex, undress, partying, whatever.
Narcissism is being damn kind; this is sickness. Clearly achievement’s barometer
nowadays is measured by how many likes and comments your margarita selfie
receives. Me, me, me, as if anyone really cares.
The special scam also has created a vocal tribe of “Dunning-Krugers”—a
psychological deficiency where incompetent people don’t know they’re
incompetent because they can’t distinguish between the two. Dunning-Krugers
infest the internet, particularly in the comment sections wherever comments are
allowed.
The other day, I read an article about celebrated entrepreneur Elon Musk, a
businessman whose accomplishments put him in the 99.99 percentile.


Unfortunately, I was in the mood for a little self-mutilation and mistakenly read
the comments. A majority of them thought 99.99 just wasn’t that impressive.
Comment after comment criticized Musk, a virtual convention of armchair do-
nothings who, unfortunately, have a platform to voice their stupid opinions
founded on nothing but their ability to construct a sentence from their parents’
basement.
Underneath the special scam lies the greatest destructive force to our dreams:

fixed mindset. A fixed mindset is the belief that talent alone causes success and
that your basic qualities of intelligence, athleticism, and even rhythm are fixed
traits that cannot be changed or improved.
Ha, yes, rhythm!
In college, my dorm neighbor was a Puerto Rican kid who could hip-hop
dance with the best of them. Anytime he showcased his moves, the dance floor
