You're bothered that movies don't seem as authoritarian as they used to be. Do you realize that's what you've said?

  There is a difference between authoritarianism and believing it is worth seeking out a trustworthy team.

  Someone telling you what to do is not inherently authoritarian. Your claim is over the top. For example, roads have enforced speed limits. Those are typically set in a technocratic way: traffic engineers look at surrounding conditions, design constraints of the road itself etc and set a number. That process is subject to oversight (which can be wrong or right) that provides some democratic accountability. Building codes are another good example. It’s generally better to go along with such rules as a form of delegated decision making and expertise. And when you are freed from having to make a decision on every little thing (do I believe the label of the provenance of these eggs?) you can go forward to, you know, live your life.

  When you consider that the opposite to individualism is authoritarianism, there has been a cultural failure in society.
