A thought-provoking piece, albeit a depressing one, because we've been cooking for decades in the fetid juices of compassion-destroying propaganda (largely to support unfettered capitalism), and the diagnosis here suggests that trying to "uncook" society is impossible; some kind of lightning bolt would be the only salvation and I cannot imagine what that would look like.

The Soviets tried to build The New Soviet Man for 74 years, while having an incredible amount of control over many aspects of society.

The project was... For the most part unsuccessful.

I don't think there is a cure. A society will be largely stuck in the rut that it's in.
