The C Word

Vivek Ramaswamy faced significant criticism following a post on X, where he claimed that American culture is mediocre. This statement came amid the controversy surrounding H-1B visas and what was being described as a "MAGA civil war." Ramaswamy argued that the mediocrity of American culture was the reason top tech companies in the United States needed to bring in foreign-born and first-generation engineers, implying that the cultures of these engineers' home countries were superior. He also suggested that American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence since the 1990s, if not longer. While many people found his comments offensive, there is some truth to his point. American culture has indeed shifted away from an emphasis on excellence, and this change began well before the 1990s. What led to this cultural shift, and how can we return to a culture of excellence? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #278.
