I also have to wonder how much the move from a production economy to a services economy has shifted things. Producing real goods for people tends to favor physical prowess, whereas a service dominant economy would tend to favor those who are more agreeable/able to make people feel good.
Can this partially explain the change?
- kazinator 4y agoPeople who are unfit for academics having to go through higher education just to stay ahead of everyone else doing the same is going to take a toll also. University or college isn't easy even for the nerdiest of us. I don't know how it's now but it used to be that straight-A students out of high school could easily turn into C average, all-nighter-pulling neurotics by fourth year university. Now you have the C students pressured into post-secondary study.
