11 August

I remember when coal-fired power stations opened, how people treated it as an event, something interesting to see. And when wind turbines started in Australia, the same, people flocked to have a look in a wow this is cool sort of way. Now everything is a complaint, an opportunity to have a whinge. Rather than be excited (as we should be) at watching this technological revolution unfold, every tiny event is turned into a trigger for opposing teams going at each other. Social media did this to us, coupled to kidult culture. The rest of the world is leaving the whining kidult West behind, at increasing speed.
