A very Dutch statement: “When you cannot go back to the past, you have to find new ways.” It’s interesting their pragmatic, modernist (before that was a thing?) take on people’s relationship with the world. At heart they seem to be quite conservative about the small stuff, and quite brave about building a rough, running consensus about radical changes to the big stuff, while leaving room for folks who don’t or can’t get on board with the plan (eg “zuilen”). Nice little country they have there, shame if something happens to it. Like global warming.
