This is erudite and Sums up 10,000 years of subsistence living by our ancestors who enjoyed a simple sunset or a field of daffodils, or a loving hug. All this we have swapped for instant gratification and conspicuous consumption, which is killing the planet and driving us to a place where anti fragility becomes the only means of survival. Sad!
