But, reality says differently.

Basically, I am not as worried about the current state of things, as history shows this pretty much always happens with advancing cultures.

What I am extremely worried about is the fact that we don't seem to want to look into and address how this crap happened in the first place. We are not interested in addressing the fact that our very system has been so tweaked and corrupted that it needs to be overhauled.

My worry is that we will have learned nothing and will just let this happen again. And, all because around a thousand people would lose their highly placed socioeconomic position in our society and they would rather it all burn to the ground than accept that things have to change.
