I've noticed something about accomplishment in our age, which may or may not be valid and is certainly not backed up by anything resembling analysis. In athletics, in science, in intellectual pursuits, it seems that the few who specialize are pushing the envelope farther and farther, while the average sags. There is no doubt that the performance of American olympic athletes has improved immeasurably in the last 40 years, but has the physical fitness of the average American kept pace? The few who study astronomy make magnificent discoveries, but the average American is more concerned with astrology. And on, and on....

Is this real, or am I hallucinating?
