This is a really good take on things... and if you look at the pattern of empire fits along with it pretty precisely, as you note though technical progression in that time has accelerated the growth in the US, and elsewhere obviously, making things progress at a faster pace. Honestly I think the USA was too good too fast. Abundance in Abundance for generations brought in the age of complacency(~1850s - ~1913), and then the age of complacency led to the age of giving up paying attention, and begun trusting in the government (1913- ~1990) And of course now we are in idiocracy where people are willingly injecting themselves with experimental pharmaceuticals for a McDonald's gift certificates. I would mention there was a brief second American renaissance period from ~1990-2005 Where once again it was good to be proud to be an American and basic values were honored. Ross Perot, Ron Paul etc, the country had 1776 spirit
