| In Denmark it's so prevalent that it's codified as Jante's Law. It's not a prescriptive law, despite the way it's phrased. It's more descriptive, a satirical summary of the way Danes think of ambitious people. - You're not to think you are anything special. - You're not to think you are as good as we are. - You're not to think you are smarter than we are. - You're not to imagine yourself better than we are. - You're not to think you know more than we do. - You're not to think you are more important than we are. - You're not to think you are good at anything. - You're not to laugh at us. - You're not to think anyone cares about you. - You're not to think you can teach us anything. |
