See also: in Good times create weak men [0], the author explains his interpretation as to why. I can't summarize it well. It's centered around a Jonathan Blow talk [1] Preventing the collapse of civilization.
I watched that talk a while ago. It is great, and it did change my opinion on a few things. Whether you agree with the premise or not, you can still learn something. For me, the importance of sharing knowledge within a team to prevent "knowledge rot". "Generations" in a team are much more rapid than the general population/civilisation, so that effect is magnified IMO.
