You claimed that individualism hasn't resulted in any beneficial changes while simultaneously giving an example of one.

Not a very good one.

"Less worse" is synonymous with better.

Were things less worse or weren't they?

What is this blather about inner self and outer self?

Innovation.
Progressiveness.
Acceptance.
Self-Sufficiency.
And most imposrtantly - Human Rights.

There - I gave you five.
