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".

Yes we are. The masses won, and they lost. I have not heard of Ortega, but he did not see what was coming, he only predicted the future. He was damned close to the answer.

The masses to this day are still fighting. Though it will be extremely hard to destroy the works of the philosophers and the scientists now.

A single computer hard drive, driven by the wants of the masses and the visions of the scientists spurred on by the value of abstract thinking from the philosophers joined in words saved through magnetism.

"multiple men" are what? Men who have multiple abilities and interests?

Men now love other men, openly, and are attacked. There are parades, and pride days. There are parties. There are internet groups, and communities of homosexual men. This to me would have been impossible a hundred years ago... Simple proof which plays with the emotions of entire nations. There are simpler proofs.

Neonazis. Feminists. Pick up Artists. All are able to survive within the confines of personal security without being singled out due to individual interests.

In the future though, if the war of the masses has no been won than there will be wars. Among the groups whose interests are so powerful that they develop abilities to force influence. Another word for that is war, something which has already been developed. Go figure.

Interesting question-I believe the masses lost, especially in the last six years.
However, who was it that said "man is a legend in his own mind"?
