As long as there are concentrations of elements, as long as there are predictable loci for resources, there will be conflict and competition for sustenance and pleasure.
I begin to wonder too whether academia suffices only to prolong an elitism in regards to sustenance of the "good life"; that pleasure and leisure are a privilege for a special class of humans that have been fated to preserve and fence in the supposed beneficial resources... and this being akin to the maiming of the village potter in primitive times now forebodes the coming of a more violent era.
I write this thinking that Jung would be aghast in these times, that he would suggest a great Dragon fight is at hand.
