The Wern is antithetical to skill or work. in a vaccuum, without the charity of others, he would starve to death, or be beaten to death. as much as a hole in society as a modern campus is, to achieve a degree of education of any kind, from associate to doctoral, requires effort, work, and preserverence - all things that The Wern lacks.
the inability to recognize this, is an essential feature of The Wern, and is adjacent to the Dunning-Kruger effect. it is directly observable that when the reality of his limitation are even glimpsed, The Wern prefers to deny or deflect reality. to do otherwise would invite a destruction of the ego, which for The Wern who has nothing left to retreat into, is self-destruction.
