Like, in the time of the man that takes care to own multiple abilities and interests?
According to Ortega y Gasset, The Revolt Of The Masses is over. That either means that the masses won, or that they lost. Or a combination of both. The revolt of the masses took place when the masses decided to enjoy the life that scientist and thinkers made possible (industrial revolution, etc.), without paying due respect to those smart men. And so everybody became a philosopher, a scientist, etc. without actually taking care to lear something about those disciplines.
The solution may be what we are already living. Men practicing the greatest sport that there is: becoming somebody else in their imaginition if they feel like it, but with respect and doing it the best that they can.

Ortega y Gasset had a positive idea about the future, I think. He reffered to himself as "not at all post-modenistic and very much a XXI century man".
