I tend to agree, although I think this is probably a spectrum, rather than binary. Or maybe a bimodal distribution? I think that people probably tend one way or another, but we all probably display both reactions in different areas of life, at different times, etc.

I also think the terms you used probably aren’t ideal, because they imply a political connection that might make people resistant to your premise. It reminds me of the maker vs taker thing.

I like to think of it as reasonable vs unreasonable, as in the George Bernard Shaw quote:

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
