The next Civics could go even more extreme and lock down in VR, refusing to participate in physical reality because of some pathogen.
I would say this seems right. Hero is a shadow of Prophet. In youth, they will rebel (against what or how, that is unclear) and I understand what this person is saying.
But that rebellion (as you mention) will turn into Groupthink by necessity. Any Hero deemed to be acting like Prophet and leading with personal values will become ostracized from the group and be seen as part of the problem. That's how stale culture is already emerging and will get worse.
