> I guess the point is that you cannot work less if the others don't.

Ah, damn, that's the catch with everything isn't. As alway, the only winning move appears to be not to play, and to even get to state where you can drop out, you need to play well for at least a while.

> Anecdotally, when I was a dumb kid, we honestly went looking for fights.

I've always kinda chuckled at the folks from this generation whining about how soft kids are nowadays. We're there simply no external consequences back then?

If I got into half of the trouble GenX'ers claim to have in my youth, I'd have spent my youth in and out of jail and halfway houses.

Yeah Gen X "sold out" faster than the stupid hippy boomers before them

> People don’t stop idolizing these people, they don’t even think that this is a problem.

They'd go as far as to call it a virtue. Silicon Valley is the greatest domestic enemy this country has ever seen. They've built entire machines to protect, reward, and normalize antisocial activity.
