Level 2 · 9 mo agoThe breakdown of self-handicapping is dead on. I see guys sabotaging themselves just to have an excuse when they fail. It is pathetic behavior but the science definitely checks out.

Level 9 · 8 mo agoThe fact that students actually took drugs to sabotage their own exams just to save face is unhinged behavior! Beatrice really exposed how fragile our egos are. That surgeon bit is literally terrifying

Level 10 · 8 mo agoI really hate the idea that self criticism is always bad. Being hard on myself is exactly how I got better at my job. You can’t just pat yourself on the back for mediocrity and expect to grow.
