I believe you are suggesting a false dichotomy, as though if a person chose
not to pursue the one thing, they must in fact be pursuing the other. This
is fallacious.
As for the Dream as it used to be, but I believe the "Machiavellian
attitudes, back-stabbing politics, and endless grasping for personal gain"
have been a part of the Current Middle Ages far longer than the more than
quarter century I've been aware of, and the two decades I've been a member
of the Society.
