Bread and Circuses

Yes, I think the world has gone mad. Yes, I have serious concerns about the future. However, we still have cheap food and an overload of entertainment. More people are able to enter into this world of bread and circuses. Now, you can still have a hard time in a world of youtube and decent food, but life is fairly good. However, this is a very new thing for humanity, so even though I think its good, being liberated from the basics allows people to become more bizarre. Like the Romans did. Being happily fed and entertained does not prevent you from being cruel, evil, and arrogant.

It doesn't force you to be any of those things, however. We have the ability to reason, and it won't be technologies fault if we go bonkers.
