That's true, and I think it bodes ill.

We might have to rethink the sexual revolution, but I don't expect there will be much enthusiasm for that.

This is hardly the issue... If the upper class part not being as affected by this didn't make it obvious - it's money that is the issue. And - trust me - the upper class are not prudes.


It's hardly a reach to say that the upper class has tools, among them money, that enable behaviors that are disastrous for those without those tools.

There is a bad habit among the upper class to say "we should normalize X because it's harmless" because X is harmless for _them_, and terribly dangerous for others not so fortunate.


I heard a new term used recently for beliefs that the rich can afford to have but are harmful for most other people.. “luxury beliefs”.
