Not everything that's wrong with society today, but a significant chunk of it. I'm only half-way through This article, but I already love it.

Succesful Failure

One of the major points of the article seems to be Failure, and the stigma surrounding it in today's society.

The idea that Failure is always and ever a harmful experience, and should be avoided and buffered against whenever possible. That Failure is the greatest blow against a child's developing identity, worse, even, than moral corruption.

And then we're surprised when a person is caught cheating--at Scrabble, on their taxes, et cetera, et cetera.
