Fully agree. This reminds me of the point Peter Thiel makes about modern life being too internally focused. The distinction between stoicism and indifference is so important. The world is starting to loose faith that we can actually make things better, and that there is such a thing as "objective good". So the only thing popular culture can offer us is to meditate on our attachment, and solute to the sun as life expectancy in the first world stops increasing (and in some places decreases). I think yoga and meditation are valuable, but there is a place for dissatisfaction in the status quo.
