This article seems a bit overwrought for what, in my opinion, is not a terribly dangerous idea.
I'd be more concerned with what I feel is perhaps a cousin to this - popular notions about work, success and risk-taking.
Basically, the idea that glorifies people who have succeeded in facing relatively benign risks as examples for the purpose of deriding people who are unwilling to face more serious ones as being somehow unworthy.
The most recent, well-known example of this was probably Mitt Romney [0], but every time someone wonders why poor people who live in bad neighborhoods don't "just move" it's the same thing on a smaller scale.
