Concerning the gods, I cannot know either that they exist or that they do not exist, nor what form they might have, for there is much to prevent one's knowing: the obscurity of the subject and the shortness of man's life.

There's a real correlation between a society that tells people that they can do anything, and the existence of low self-esteem. So that's another way in which something quite positive can have a nasty kickback. There is another reason why we might be feeling more anxious --about our careers, about our status in the world today, than ever before. And it's, again, linked to something nice. And that nice thing is called meritocracy.
