Cryptogee you're really raising the bar for not only Steemit but yourself.  

Having grown up in the Blair education system from a state school there were also other elements that emerged from this 'everyone's worth a medal' mentality. The crab in a bucket analogy... where anyone seen to be pushing ahead or trying harder than anyone else were pulled back down.

Do these two things go hand in hand? Probably...

Thanks for elegantly crafting this article drawing from observations from Steemit and life. I can see why you're so proud of your daughter.

Hopefully in building this collaborative virtual society we can turn reverse that crab mentality.
