    Because until recently, we didn’t teach kids that making a mistake or changing one’s mind is ok and a sign of learning and growth. You know, that same social-emotional learning that became a conservative boogeyman.

    So a bunch of people grew up to be assholes who feel less masculine or powerful if they admit they were wrong or consider new information. Sprinkle in the narcissists, and behold, the cognitive dissonance olympics.

      We punish kids for every little mistake they make. Instead of learning that we all make mistakes and that’s okay, they learn that if you make a mistake you’ll get in trouble, so you’re better off sweeping it under the rug, lying about it, and pretending it never happened.
