Yanks are an amazing example of learnt helplessness
They shrug their shoulders, because most of them have absolutely no idea that better ways exist, or they're just too busy trying to survive (which has been carefully and deliberately engineered)

It certainly looks like people are adapting mentally. What level of adaptation are you thinking of?
