Quote by James Hillman
Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit the loss of the empire of the United States and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure.

However, it claims that exceptionalism is not rooted in superiority but rather in backwardness in various areas such as education and infrastructure. It suggests that our fears stem from a reluctance to face these realities and admit the shortcomings present in our society.
