Just a thought but

In rich countries where there is plenty, we get choice. eg:

Food supply less tied to the seasons.
Plethora of radio and TV channels.
Mobility of labour - the motor car.
etc

Along with all the benefits of these we have lost the sense of community. When we had a couple of radio/TV channels we conversed on the same subjects. We went to work on the same buses. Down to the village/community hall for entertainment. Knew and cared about each others' woes.

I know from my own interests - my tribe is based more on genre than geography, despite regularly singing and dancing what would once have been good fare for the local pub or hop.

In short, this is the thin end of the wedge that at the thick end we would call hedonism. No wonder rich nations are more divided than ever. I don't see it changing without some catastrophe to rally the troops.

And I don't perceive what the catastrophe will be, or when.

Your predictions ............?
