The mania for “self-improvement” is basically American and democratic. People are under stress to raise themselves up rather than finding their level and being content—even American “reactionaries” do it, but with classical art and music instead. They are still democrats.
Alan Watts is right about “self-improvement”. Listening to Bach because “it’s good for you” but boring is stupid. You’re just trying to show off socially. Conservatives accept hierarchy. Some people will only be able to appreciate pop music. It’s okay, they excel elsewhere.
