This is a joke that doesn't land because there is a high likelihood that some here believe this.

It's interesting how different people view it differently. I don't agree with the joke in meaning, but when I read it, I assumed he was making a joke or being sarcastic and wasn't trying to offend anybody, whereas the first reply took it seriously.
The joke doesn't land because people feel both unbalanced and under-achieved and largely powerless to change it.
