> The question is how can we change American culture to be more collectivist?

American exceptionalism is so ingrained in the culture that I feel it would take generations..

And, in my opinion, that won't start happening until America is no longer the "world leader" (for better or for worse) that it is today..

It would take humility, selflessness, self-awareness and self-reflection at a very large scale for this kind of transformation to happen.. and we (humans in general - not just Americans) aren't really good at that...
