No society in history has ever had so much abundance as the West today. We've really moved up Maslows hierarchy beyond survival and safety towards needing meaning in our lives (more than what comes with doing the labor you need to survive).
I wonder if there's just not enough meaning in the world to go around and that's the cause of our society's malaise.
