So back in ye olden days you'd be out in the fields working for 18 hours a day just to scratch a living. Malnutrition was a problem for 99% of people for the last >150,000 years
But now we have all the food we could possibly want (in the Western world at least and increasingly elsewhere in the world) so ppl are living longer, growing taller and with the advent of cheap processed food obesity is more of a problem.
"Music is food for the soul" if we just take that as an axiom on entertainment in general the same sort of trend has happened. People used to have to make their own entertainment...

But now entertainment is available to all on demand - Deliveroo and Netflix being roughly analogous - it's not something you have to make yourself.
We think ourselves superior to our antecedents and in a lot of ways we are. How could anyone today consider themselves culturally malnourished? But if junk food is an issue for our bodies would it follow that junk content is poison for our minds? If so what is the equivalent of obesity?
Maybe "luxury beliefs" ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I'm of the opinion that the simpler you keep life, the happier you'll be. Maintain good relationships with the people around you - that's the most important thing.
You will never replace this with gadgets and hobbies, still less with ideologies and politics. Those are not even sufficient replacement for religion, however you feel about that. More like crippled religions. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Why would they?
Overthinking is probably responsible for half the world's ills.
And I don't really care what music the young folks want. I can still listen to all the music I love.

No, it's just that we have this wonderful thing called social media now so we can see all of them. Isn't progress a wonderful thing? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Actually, I find the whole thing very disappointing. Can't see what all the fuss is about myself. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I was going to say Boomers and Generation X are largely immune to the temptations of the Interwebs but then I think of all the old ppl moaning up about barking dogs or loud music on Facebook ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |
