   And that, unfortunately, has led now two generations to conclude that there’s nothing worth building, nothing worth preserving, nothing in the future that is worth all the effort. So decadence sets in, on its ponderous leaden ass, and gripes about how things used to be better and why can’t it get a decent latté.

   That seems an extraordinary generalisation.

   Well, here in L.A., it’s partly because we have a major earthquake every 20 years or so. If it hasn’t been knocked down yet, it needs major seismic retrofit, and it’s better to take it down and start over anyway.

   The thing is that only those who can master social games (or have the right class/family connections from birth) get opportunities. Either that, or highly skilled people make themselves *create* their own opportunities. But people are yearning for what their parents had, and keep looking for it in vain, so there is no loyalty and stability on either side of the job market anymore.
