It
’
s
strange
that
in
an
age
when
we
are
more
connected
than
ever
,
entitlement
seems
to
be
at
an
all
-
time
high
.
Something
about
recent
technology
seems
to
allow
our
insecurities
to
run
amok
like
never
before
.
The
more
freedom
we
’
re
given
to
express
ourselves
,
the
more
we
want
to
be
free
of
having
to
deal
with
anyone
who
may
disagree
with
us
or
upset
us
.
The
more
exposed
we
are
to
opposing
viewpoints
,
the
more
we
seem
to
get
upset
that
those
other
viewpoints
exist
.
The
easier
and
more
problem
-
free
our
lives
become
,
the
more
we
seem
to
feel
entitled
for
them
to
get
even
better
.
The
benefits
of
the
Internet
and
social
media
are
unquestionably
fantastic
.
In
many
ways
,
this
is
the
best
time
in
history
to
be
alive
.
But
perhaps
these
technologies
are
having
some
unintended
social
side
effects
.
Perhaps
these
same
technologies
that
have
liberated
and
educated
so
many
are
simultaneously
enabling
people
’
s
sense
of
entitlement
more
than
ever
before
.
The
Tyranny
of
Exceptionalism
Most
of
us
are
pretty
average
at
most
things
we
do
.
Even
if
you
’
re
exceptional
at
one
thing
,
chances
are
you
’
re
average
or
below
average
at
most
other
things
.
That
’
s
just
the
nature
of
life
.
To
become
truly
great
at
something
,
you
have
to
dedicate
shit
-
tons
of
time
and
energy
to
it
.
And
because
we
all
have
limited
time
and
energy
,
few
of
us
ever
become
truly
exceptional
at
more
than
one
thing
,
if
anything
at
all
.
We
can
then
say
that
it
’
s
a
statistical
improbability
that
any
single
person
will
be
an
extraordinary
performer
in
all
areas
of
life
,
or
even
in
many
areas
of
their
life
.
Brilliant
businesspeople
are
often
fuckups
in
their
personal
lives
.
Extraordinary
athletes
are
often
shallow
and
as
dumb
as
a
lobotomized
rock
.
Many
celebrities
are
probably
just
as
clueless
about
life
as
the
people
who
gawk
at
them
and
follow
their
every
move
.
We
’
re
all
,
for
the
most
part
,
pretty
average
people
.
But
it
’
s
the
extremes
that
get
all
of
the
publicity
.
We
kind
of
know
this
already
,
but
we
rarely
think
and
/
or
talk
about
it
,
and
we
certainly
never
discuss
why
this
could
be
a
problem
.
Having
the
Internet
,
Google
,
Facebook
,
YouTube
,
and
access
to
five
hundred
–
plus
channels
of
television
is
amazing
.
But
our
attention
is
limited
.
There
’
s
no
way
we
can
process
the
tidal
waves
of
information
flowing
past
us
constantly
.
Therefore
,
the
only
zeroes
and
ones
that
break
through
and
catch
our
attention
are
the
truly
exceptional
pieces
of
information
—
those
in
the
99
.
999th
percentile
.
All
day
,
every
day
,
we
are
flooded
with
the
truly
extraordinary
.
The
best
of
the
best
.
The
worst
of
the
worst
.
The
greatest
physical
feats
.
The
funniest
jokes
.
The
most
upsetting
news
.
The
scariest
threats
.
Nonstop
.
