Dr. Martin Hash Podcast

Average people are easily made to feel inadequate, inferior & insecure by more achievement-oriented people, which leads to an ever-building subconscious resentment. They want to escape this feeling, not by increasing their own accomplishes which they may not be capable of, but by penalizing the so-called, tall poppies. In the religious past, there was a power stronger than any individual: God. No one was greater than God; if they pretended to be, God via the church, would call them vainglorious & prideful, penalize them, and the envious & spiteful among the parishioners facilitated the cutting down of tall poppies, even though they were quashing the most productive & creative people in society. Children need to be taught to deal with disappointment & defeat because that is much more common than always getting your way; it’s part of maturity. When God is replaced by democracy, and values are no longer propagated, eventually perversity is in the majority because there are more relative losers than winners, and they vote for equity, ensuring there are no losers by having no winners, even if it threatens the living standards & livelihoods of all. This perversity intends to calm feelings of inadequacy, inferiority & insecurity via schadenfreude, authoritarianism & tyranny.
