    it's particularly cruel advice because it is the entire ideological foundation for people upholding social norms that they don't even benefit from, and secretly know are bad and should be done away with. But because of sunk cost fallacy they keep upholding these norms, and telling people who don't accept those norms to "fake it until you make it." It's maddening.
