Yeah, ironically when i think of Uber, i think of Ubermenschen, which featured prominently in Nazi propaganda[1], so 1940s. So much for ego being a new thing and cherry picking how in olden times things were better.
Even so, your thesis was falsifiable which makes it good in my book :)

- wolverine876 5y agoThat's what I think of too. > So much for ego being a new thing and cherry picking how in olden times things were better. I never said ego was a new thing, or that all of history was better. In fact, I chose the post-war period - whose culture, I would guess, was partly a reaction to the fascist ideology (or any ideology).
