Another possibility is that one just starts caring a little less as time goes on, and the problems seem, somehow, less urgent. Dewey said somewhere that we don't solve our philosophical problems, we get over them.

An interesting piece from a perennially fun-but-grumpy writer (www.the-hinternet.com/p/my-kind-of...). He didn't like the "tumblr regime" of yesteryear but hates the "4chan regime" we have now even more. I think he's fundamentally correct that avant-garde internet norms have swept to power in waves

Rorty also argued that faculty at American universities were sometimes insufficiently patriotic, and participated too eagerly in the so-called "America Sucks Sweepstakes", but yes, this is an important part of his view about the importance and function of the universities.
