Back in 2006, I analogized Agile as akin to historical reactions to civilizational collapse / rapid decline. Of stoicism, epicurianism, and monasticism, I pegged Agile as a variant of monasticism. (That might have been wrong.) http://www.exampler.com/old-blog/2006/11/01/index.html#agile-as-fish
My profession has declined a lot since then.
The US is in civilizational/cultural decline.
May be time for software people and US citizens to think about how earlier people have coped with times like these.
