I think S&H meant the term "Reactive" to signify an experimental attitude, an ability to respond and act in bold and adventurous ways; very situational and realistic, pragmatic, often cynical or gruff, and going off in their own direction; independent, self-reliant and inner-directed, although not introspective or philosophical like prophets are supposed to be and often are. But "reactive" is a poor word for this. Nomad is a bit better, at least.
Yet it was those prior generations that set the tone that moved the next gens to oppose them.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
