I completely agree with you, but I think even normal people were better than some of our best today. Reading de Tocqueville's Democracy in America and Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death it was pretty depressing seeing how the average American was only 200 years ago. It paints the image of a farmer walking behind his plow while reading Shakespeare; now you have the fatty on his mobility scooter hunched over his smartphone.
Unfortunately there is no inclination from the top to rectify this and in fact this is exactly what they want. The only solution I can see comes from individuals deciding to shine so brightly as to completely eclipse the dark and dreary world around them.
