The truth is somewhere in between. Despite rationalizing some lofty goals our choices reflect a bias towards comfortable, passive leisure. Success is complicated when food, lodging and procreation are already achieved.

Perhaps there is a mass passification about, and yet many individuals still manage to do great things growing up in these environments.
