Well, the society tells today's talentless folks that it's okay to be a talentless loser, as long as you're proud of it. You're entitled fun and games in your life and only your feelings matter. Halt all progress in case it'd make you look like a dorky introverted sociophobe. After that mentality has been planted deep, they're content in every way but one: They don't have a purpose, and they want to 'improve' the world or fight what they believe in without too much effort.
