We used to a be a people who would be willing to change, challenge, secure a
future.  Now were just all "meh" and don't really care about anything anymore.

The problem is that we're stuck with a specific hierarchy of values, and we
can't change them anymore.  We're OLD, tired, way too conservative and lack imagination.

The West in the 19th century was dynamic, now it is a tired old man just wanting to wait out the rest of his days in the comfortable rest home.

You are right, but not because you are RIGHT, but because we're an apathetic lot who really don't care about future generations.
