Great points. I'll laugh at a good joke about underachievement, but if someone uses it as a badge or identity, then it should not be glorified. I agree with you that we should move more in the direction of encouraging good performance and achievement.
haha yes there's certainly an unfounded reverence to this attitude which is sometimes expressed absent humor
