I know given it's GK chesterton, he's trying to say that's bad, but being treating, say, a forest, the ecosystem, the people around you with more reverence in the early 1900's probably would have avoided a lot of the problems we have now.
- recursivedoubts 6y agoAre you familiar with Chesterton's writings? In particular his criticisms of capitalism? “Comforts that were rare among our forefathers are now multiplied in factories and handed out wholesale; and indeed, nobody nowadays, so long as he is content to go without air, space, quiet, decency and good manners, need be without anything whatever that he wants; or at least a reasonably cheap imitation of it.”
