The detail here is that the achievement is acquiring status in a society with which individualism doesn't care about anymore. The OP cares much more for the real achievements, and not much for their title and place in British society (society of old at least) I think you are right about egalitarianism being part of the outlook, I think egalitarianism is part of individualism though. Everyone is as special as everyone else, so your rank in society isn't as important.
