Decadence

10 ways we are decadent. 

It’s almost like we just can’t face up to the hard reality of a post-9/11, post-2008, post-internet world and aren’t going to accept the hard work that continuing to improve civilisation involves.

Not sure I agree with all the claims herein, but nonetheless interesting to think about.
