Philosophy:Trained incapacity
From HandWiki
In sociology, trained incapacity is "that state of affairs in which one's abilities function as inadequacies or blind spots."[1] It means that people's past experiences can lead to wrong decisions when circumstances change.[2][3] Thorstein Veblen invented the concept in 1933.[4][5]
