You have no idea whether people here take responsibility or do you assume this because nobody else points out this highly simplified analysis?

Humans value the appearance of competence over actual competence.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean people accept it or act to change their behaviors on it

And every facet of life reflects this. The highest paid aren't the most competent, but the ones with a carefully cultivated appearance of competence
