Ultimately he's gone too far though, he'd a turd complaining about an on-balance superior culture. He's a graduate of a Jesuit hs and Harvard, not IIT. He's comparing India's top 10th that it can't even retain to bobby birdshit, and he's doing it to make a value judgment against his Betters. He is being intellectually dishonest and should be comparing Bobby Birdshit to street-shitters.

This metric is only meaningful in a country that can legally kick out natural born citizens who underperform

sure, you're dimwitted enough that you needed "math tutoring" and "science competitions" to be good at STEM, but plenty of people are talented enough that we can have normal childhoods without any parental pressure and still get great test scores, graduate first in our class, go to good schools, and be successful in technical fields

the problem isn't a culture of mediocrity – it's that *he* would have been mediocre if his parents hadn't pushed him hard

But let us turn the mirror to America. His diagnosis of a culture that "venerates mediocrity" leans heavily on archetypes: the prom queen, the jock, the sitcom anti-heroes. These, however, are not harbingers of decline; they are stories, reflecting a society grappling with its identity. And what of America’s own caste system, its silent hierarchies? The Jocks and Nerds, Losers and Scumbags—these are but the echoes of divisions as rigid as any attributed to other cultures. Meritocracy, you see, is a story too, often written to comfort the winners. The American sitcoms he names are like 35 years old which is proof positive he's been obsessed with GPA and OCI since the 90s, rendering him hopelessly out of touch culturally, yet in spite of this he feels qualified to Opine on America's "culture." The decades-old sitcoms he dismisses as cultural rot are more than escapist fluff. They hold a mirror to a society that prizes humor, individuality, and self-discovery. Just as Indian cinema weaves tales of heroism and devotion, these shows serve a purpose beyond your binaries of mediocrity and excellence. To read culture through its Engineers alone is to overlook the humanity that innovation ultimately serves.

Culture is not a competition. It is not a ledger where one tallies failures and triumphs to declare a winner. It is, instead, a mosaic, rich in contradictions and complexity. He may argue for a return to hard work and aspiration—and indeed, those are noble virtues—but they are not the sole measure of a society's worth imho.
