Any trend that is developed too fast and is disposed right away is not going to have a lasting impression on the culture, you know?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Throughout history, it took centuries for the habits of one culture to materially affect another. Now, that which becomes popular in one country can sweep through others within months.
It's nice to know there are some things in early 21st-century post-industrial culture that don't change very fast. I am one of those.
This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.
In a kind of a way there's a bit of that happening now so we have to be careful to preserve our culture.
I think a lot of us are increasingly recognizing that the dominant culture is killing the planet.
The great thing about a culture is that once you really get it going, it evolves on its own. It's self-organizing. It's dynamic. It just feeds on itself.
There are brands out there in the world that have an incredible influence on the culture. Numerous ones are badly done.
I just think that some version of the past in our culture is going to rise up and become dominant.
I don't have space to enter into the examples or the history of this, so I'm left with having to make the bold statement that culture is extinct.
Culture is just a shambling zombie that repeats what it did in life; bits of it drop off, and it doesn't appear to notice.
