Seven Ages of Man and Economic Motivation

My comment on this post by Jacob Botter at CPH127 I think is worth sharing here:

The trend seems to be towards the interior of the self. We are tending towards more and more individuality and independence when in fact we are becoming more aware of our dependence upon one another. I suspect if we do not turn the tide from independence to interdependence and community, we (yes, the big collective We) are in trouble.

Do you see a trend?
