I disagree with much of the essay (eg: 'Telling jokes becomes a dangerous profession' strikes me as a complete non-sequitur) but I credit the author for asking a fascinating question.

I think the sense in which we live in a society lacking counter-culture is that counter-culture now is most of our culture.

Reminds me of "Bobos in Paradise" by David Brooks (2000).

Brooks is now "just another uncool Boomer" but he made this same observation over 20 years ago.

People have been making this observation since the late 60s because that's when it became true.
