Here’s a story of learned helplessness.
Two decades ago, I liked to play World of Warcraft. You would have battles that you could participate in between factions that were at different scales (I can’t remember if the largest was 25 v 25 or 40 v 40). Through these battles you would build up currency called honor.
There were so many times I would hear that we should let the other faction win because we get some honor anyway and it wasn’t even trying. We would all just pretty much ignore them, but they were annoying nonetheless.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this here on the site before, but I’ve noticed a general malaise amongst people. I find it from people I’ve tried to hire for work (they just disappear or whatever) to small kids I’ve tried to teach.
I had this one kid I was tutoring at a center a few years ago, and the assignment was to think up something to draw. I asked, “Why don’t you draw a castle?” She said, “I don’t know what a castle is,” and just sat there. A few years prior, a kid would’ve more excitedly ask what a castle is. Actually, they would’ve known what a castle is. But this kid just didn’t care, and it was like that for more than one kid in different ages.
screw the worms, we need a jackalope for’nuther hopelessly helpless misleader.

So much for the War Powers Resolution. Both Cassidy and Paul withdrew their votes causing it to fail, ultimately.
