I agree... with reservations.

The most obvious one being the willingness of so many people we might call "average/middle of the road" being so willing to abdicate personal accountability and let someone else deal with it.

Nothing wrong with wanting to delegate authority, but that only goes as far as to the point where the original decision to do so was based in critical thinking and consciousness, rather than mental and emotional sloth.

Being self-reliant and being self-involved (in the sense of only caring about yourself, rather than a broader awareness) are two very different things, in my opinion.
