Interesting point that I almost forgot about. The "me" generation refers to baby boomers. But it hasn't stopped with the boomer generation. If anything, it has gotten far worse.

It's sort of like contemplating your navel. Sooner or later this self involvement is going to get you into trouble. You have to look beyond your own little world and self aggrandizement.
Update:
I compared the destruction of knowledge of the molten-salt reactor to the burning of the library at Alexandria. In the original Cosmos series, Carl Sagan discusses Alexandria and its library.
