The mindset of the masses never ceases to amaze. People will habitually throw up excuses as to why they cannot succeed.
Most abhor responsibility and if their excuses are removed, it falls to them.
It is a rather odd situation and, appears, to be part of the human condition.
A natural state of being. We've all been there on some level before. I didn't even know how to process a decentralized environment when I first arrived. Slowly but surely things started to click naturally. Same story for many here I bet.
