Same reason why people “aren’t good at math” it’s the brain shutting down before attempting it

That experiment shows exactly what’s happening to a lot of young people in Africa. When you’re constantly told “there are no jobs unless you know someone,” or you see leaders staying in power forever, you start to believe nothing you do will change your life. That’s learned helplessness—it tricks you into giving up before you even try.
The sad part is the system reinforces it: corruption, unemployment, and the global narrative that Africa is “poor” make people think the only way forward is waiting for outside help. But that’s not the full truth. Across the continent, young people are building businesses, creating tech solutions, and pushing for political change.
The danger isn’t just the challenges themselves—it’s the mindset that tells you your effort doesn’t matter. Once you break that belief, you start seeing opportunities that were always there.

Some things learned through years and years. Learned helplessness is a real thing, that’s how they suppress you.

What I really envy people for is not money or beauty, but parents who overly praised and supported them instead of criticizing and angering

This is one of the hardest things about success. Perseverence. In truth, Perseverence requires a degree of delusion; irrational self confidence. This is probably why a lot of successful people are to some level psychopaths
