Only problem is that there are people that are actually stupid in the actual medical sense of the word. And a side effect is that they’re not great at thinking things through.
idk this sort of thinking just feels very “everyone gets a participation trophy” when much of the world doesn’t work that way

Or shouldn't, for that matter, because once we leave bullshit office jobs, real lives kinda depend on an accurate assessment of reality, no matter how hurtful that might be to a person.
Ideally delivered without hurt, of course, but there is only so much one can do.
