Tech absolutism, capitalism meritocracy, the whole cult of men trying to out tough each other and worshipping the idea of unique individualism through shared identity of shittiness.

Lots of people have a belief that doesn’t match reality in some way, but it’s a simpler option than meeting the world each time as unique for handling day to stuff.
