But the story Mason’s telling (about stats like those) is the US valuing risk/adventure less. That's what I'm expressing skepticism about, relative to other factors, like wage stagnation, rising education & health care costs, political polarization, immigration policy, etc.
I don't think these elements are unrelated. I actually suspect that rapidly increasing education costs are driving the culture shift, though I'm not confident about that!

Sure, but the question we're disagreeing about is whether there is a node in the causal graph titled "lower value on adventure/risk" that has an arrow pointing from it to some important outcome measures in the American economy/society

In my model, there (probably) isn't -- so if increased education costs affect important outcomes in society, it isn't via a "lower value on adventure/risk" intermediate node
