I wonder if this is a cultural issue. People have become used to the idea that taking one (usually small) action will have an outsized impact.

Don't like the political environment? Voting for the right presidential candidate will fix it.

Overweight and out of shape? This pill will do the trick.

Don't want to do the years of hard work to achieve excellence in your field? Just be at the right place at the right time and get "discovered" (or "funded").
