Yeah, and by my look as a Californian, it's probably not going to change, as it is the core of the American identity. It cannot be changed as it basically has been taught to the American public since the Frontier Era.
Good points here. Most people who "make it" in life, have the support of networks and connections. This whole "rugged individualism" trope is for the birds....
Our biggest issue is not allowing Darwinism to run its natural course. So many fight against it causing a weakening of society and the individuals within it.
Full time Work at Home causes this there should be a hybrid working model, NOT complete work at Home, it also turns down towns into Ghost Towns with people not going to work there
@@TheTrancemaster90 wow, the cognitive dissonance. We need social darwinism. Only the strong survive. I shall remain a individualist 19 year old and I shall not have a master. No gods no scumbag “experts”. I’ve been on my own my entire life so I’m not following the crowd of NPCs
Collectivism is adhering to societal norms that are based in culture, history, tradition, it's not about being told what to do, but to do what is objectively the right thing to do. Japan is the perfect example regarding this, even before the pandemic they wore masked when they were sick.
yes india is great just like china, however it will be better if india erase the caste system, it is so hard to erase caste system maybe because krishna or rama or hanuman teaching this system
Most people who died were the old and overweight. The damage to young people across the country in economic, educational, and mental health terms was not worth extending lives of those whose time has come.
Perhaps but that very notion is an individualistic one wouldn't you say? Who is deeming the worth of a life other than the individual in this situation? Collectivism is moreso about the consideration of others including strangers with less consideration of individual biases being the determiner of whether the cooperation should occur or not. Once everyone has a different set of values and opinions about whether to help or whom to help or who deserves more help, it becomes less consistent and many can justify selfish acts over the collective good. The solution you offer for example sounds more utilitarian in that who is worth helping or sacrificing your own wants for is based on non-personal traits such as assumed health and age. This can help to a degree with making sure we are not taken advantage of, but this video suggests that hyper-individualism can become problematic when such a problem really requires a indivualistic society to put down personal biases for the common good, something that such a society struggles with more.
@@TayoEXE you can shuffle words around while not taking a side, but I boldly choose to take a side. Fat people consume more resources in all aspects of life (food, fuel, medical supplies) and the elderly are inherently a drag on society, just ask any country with an aging crisis (ie South Korea, Japan, China). What the youth deserve is up for debate, but the sacrifices they carried for society during the pandemic are not worth the toll that will be exacted for years to come with much of it immeasurable. Sure, use words like “utilitarian,” individualistic, but at the end of the day it’s the people who make the most noise who contribute the least.
@@TayoEXE As for the video, individualistic societies are the richest and most productive. I will not fall into the fallacy of citing communism, but looking at more “collectivist” countries in Western Europe highlights that higher taxes and better living standards also mean less individual power for those have earned their fortune through meaningful contribution to society. Greed is good. The self-centered are those who create the jobs and inventions. Do you disagree?
It's not just self-reliance, the core of American style individualism, or toxic hyper individualism is selfishness/self-centredness.

Yes. Sadly the rest of the western world has adopted this mentality.

It is not what you know, it is who you know that determines success in life.
Right on! Academic institutions NEVER tell you this. All the conventional advice dished out glosses over this one all too important truth.
Absolutely not. The greatest achievements of mankind have been accomplished by single individuals, not groups. But that's how women think.
Excellent video, brother!

Not only downtown areas but suburban office parks have also been emptied by the working from home concept.
Individualism: people doing what they want, instead of what they're told.
exactly, but people are ignorant so they need to listen to the experts

“Hyper-individualism” is a different beast, though...
India also recorded high covid patients. However, it is not an individualistic country 😅😅😅
India is a developing nation

India’s population is many times the USA and it’s crowded.
It not collectivist if it is hierarchal.
