One of the most ingenious achievements of the free market economy is the realization that people who don't like a thing represent the largest buyer potential for it. Consequently, everything exists: There is cheese for people who don't like cheese; fish for people who don't like fish; music for people who don't like music and more of the same. Today, whole industrial sectors are concerned with filling such market openings with holes: so-called market holes.
Naturally, there is only very little space left for archaic needs because of this: so there is, for instance, no cheese for people who like cheese; no fish for people who like fish; no music for people who like music.
Civilization has its price. You can't have everything.

A specific Austrian problem is that the bourgeois revolution hasn't even been carried out here yet.
Morning Thought #11
Overnight the first snow has fallen. It has something Christmas-like to it, yet a madman goes for a walk and collects mushrooms. In fact, he already has a whole basket full of the bright violet, foreign-smelling fellows. He is able and is preparing to make a meal out of them. It is Sunday, but no one has seen him at church.
Morning Thought #101
A condensation trail. - What is all flying around there in the air? It must be a great feeling to float above the clouds (business class) and, with a little of chimpanzee mathematics, to move enormous imaginary piles of money about!

See, the good triumphs.
Isn't it moving to experience how all influential positions are being filled with the most capable persons and how the unbearable predominance of Russian and Chinese money laundering gangs has finally been broken by local tax money laundries, whose nobleness only aspires to help the all-beatifying economy achieve a well-earned final victory?
Truly, you camels, I'm telling you, that's the way it is.

They are quick at hand with moral indignation, the civilized ones, when they are confronted with things they don't want to believe. For them, morality is a favourite substitute for everything they don't have and that doesn't function for them: ethics, aesthetics, logic, technology, physics ... Enviable is the sureness with which they know in every case what the custom is and what it is not; which social manners work and which don't; what one can allow artistically and what one cannot. Doubtlessly, this sureness is based on the collective strength of an affiliation to social groupings of all types (secret societies, organizations, sects, lobbies, gangs, circles ...). No single individual could maintain these cultured moral placebos for even a minute without shuddering from their own futility.
In foreign lands one must, for better or worse, accommodate to the customs of the respective country, no matter how nonsensical they may appear. But in one's own country? - Whom does the culture in this country actually belong to?
Whom do the forests in this country belong to?? To those who deforest them (those who deforest them believe that).
The Internet project Morning Thought is supported by the Association of Friends of Centrifugal Force, as well as the Society for the Rescue of Death Cup Mushrooms which Undeservedly Became Destitute. The donation account for the catastrophe victims of the center-right coalition in Austria will be announced in one of the next Morning Thoughts. It will more or less be the same one opened for the catastrophe victims of the social democratic-conservative coalition, as well as for the catastrophe victims of the new German spelling rules.
