>Western industrial culture was based on substance - getting real shit done. There was always a lot of scammery around it, but the bedrock goal was to make physical things happen - build things, invent things, deliver things, innovate.

For a very short period between 1945 to 1980 while the generation who remembered the great depression and WWII was in charge. It's been longer since that's not been the case. And it wasn't the case for most of history before then.

Who says these are mutually exclusive? Hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times.

Sure, by way of traumatizing an entire generation. Nobody thanked you.

I'm being sarcastic. This entire concept is bogus.

Hah! I'm certain a lot of people want to believe it's bogus, mostly because of what that says about their character. Observed reality suggests there's some truth here. An example in miniature would be the frequency with which family fortunes are lost within a generation or two.

Nobody, but the focus on individualism as the driver of everything might cause a breakdown in social objectives.
