It
turns
out
that
teaching
people
to
believe
they
’
re
exceptional
and
to
feel
good
about
themselves
no
matter
what
doesn
’
t
lead
to
a
population
full
of
Bill
Gateses
and
Martin
Luther
Kings
.
It
leads
to
a
population
full
of
Jimmys
.
Jimmy
,
the
delusional
start
-
up
founder
.
Jimmy
,
who
smoked
pot
every
day
and
had
no
real
marketable
skills
other
than
talking
himself
up
and
believing
it
.
Jimmy
,
the
type
of
guy
who
yelled
at
his
business
partner
for
being
“
immature
,
”
and
then
maxed
out
the
company
credit
card
at
Le
Bernardin
trying
to
impress
some
Russian
model
.
Jimmy
,
who
was
quickly
running
out
of
aunts
and
uncles
who
could
loan
him
more
money
.
Yes
,
that
confident
,
high
-
self
-
esteem
Jimmy
.
The
Jimmy
who
spent
so
much
time
talking
about
how
good
he
was
that
he
forgot
to
,
you
know
,
actually
do
something
.
The
problem
with
the
self
-
esteem
movement
is
that
it
measured
self
-
esteem
by
how
positively
people
felt
about
themselves
.
But
a
true
and
accurate
measurement
of
one
’
s
self
-
worth
is
how
people
feel
about
the
negative
aspects
of
themselves
.
If
a
person
like
Jimmy
feels
absolutely
fucking
great
99
.
9
percent
of
the
time
,
despite
his
life
falling
apart
around
him
,
then
how
can
that
be
a
valid
metric
for
a
successful
and
happy
life
?
Jimmy
is
entitled
.
That
is
,
he
feels
as
though
he
deserves
good
things
without
actually
earning
them
.
He
believes
he
should
be
able
to
be
rich
without
actually
working
for
it
.
He
believes
he
should
be
liked
and
well
-
connected
without
actually
helping
anyone
.
He
believes
he
should
have
an
amazing
lifestyle
without
actually
sacrificing
anything
.
People
like
Jimmy
become
so
fixated
on
feeling
good
about
themselves
that
they
manage
to
delude
themselves
into
believing
that
they
are
accomplishing
great
things
even
when
they
’
re
not
.
They
believe
they
’
re
the
brilliant
presenter
on
stage
when
actually
they
’
re
making
a
fool
of
themselves
.
They
believe
they
’
re
the
successful
start
-
up
founder
when
,
in
fact
,
they
’
ve
never
had
a
successful
venture
.
They
call
themselves
life
coaches
and
charge
money
to
help
others
,
even
though
they
’
re
only
twenty
-
five
years
old
and
haven
’
t
actually
accomplished
anything
substantial
in
their
lives
.
Entitled
people
exude
a
delusional
degree
of
self
-
confidence
.
This
confidence
can
be
alluring
to
others
,
at
least
for
a
little
while
.
In
some
instances
,
the
entitled
person
’
s
delusional
level
of
confidence
can
become
contagious
and
help
the
people
around
the
entitled
person
feel
more
confident
in
themselves
too
.
Despite
all
of
Jimmy
’
s
shenanigans
,
I
have
to
admit
that
it
was
fun
hanging
out
with
him
sometimes
.
You
felt
indestructible
around
him
.
But
the
problem
with
entitlement
is
that
it
makes
people
need
to
feel
good
about
themselves
all
the
time
,
even
at
the
expense
of
those
around
them
.
And
because
entitled
people
always
need
to
feel
good
about
themselves
,
they
end
up
spending
most
of
their
time
thinking
about
themselves
.
After
all
,
it
takes
a
lot
of
energy
and
work
to
convince
yourself
that
your
shit
doesn
’
t
stink
,
especially
when
you
’
ve
actually
been
living
in
a
toilet
.
Once
people
have
developed
the
thought
pattern
to
constantly
construe
what
happens
around
them
as
self
-
aggrandizing
,
it
’
s
extremely
hard
to
break
them
out
of
it
.
Any
attempt
to
reason
with
them
is
seen
as
simply
another
“
threat
”
to
their
superiority
by
another
person
who
“
can
’
t
handle
”
how
smart
/
talented
/
good
-
looking
/
successful
they
are
.
