To be fair, toddlers do the same with their incessant overconfidence, and yet in the end it is that overconfidence that helps them gain skills and achieve great things. Sometime blind optimism is optimal.

And this is the trap we find ourselves in. People have no reason to achieve great things outside of getting theirs.
