He he, if I binged on Orange is the New Black for two days I'd be regretting that I'd never get those two days of my life back! Love your article. There's a sociologist called Inglehart who talks about post-materialism, basically based on Maslow's pyramid of needs... as you get further up the pyramid having satisfied your basic needs you get to form values focused on things like self-fulfillment, beauty and so on. i.e. millenials get to belly button gaze and worry about transcendental concerns as opposed to survival. However I think "super-materialism" might be a more appropriate term...
I've just spent the afternoon thinking about how I would lay out a self-build camper, absolutely dreaming about down-sizing for the simple life!

glad you enjoyed it and can relate :)
yeah I'd love to gain more hope in post-materialism as our future so I'll check that out; is there one of his books that you know particularly focuses on this?

It's in my reference manager along with all the other books that I probably should read but haven't!
I have two bookshelves full
LOL. It's a great hobby collecting books and dreaming of having the time to read them!
hehe - gives me the option to read them
