Nero wasn't the only one fiddling...
It's in our nature. We're amazing at denial
It's a coping mechanism.
Yanks are an amazing example of learnt helplessness
They shrug their shoulders, because most of them have absolutely no idea that better ways exist, or they're just too busy trying to survive (which has been carefully and deliberately engineered)
As individuals I can't blame them, but as a society I hold it in contempt
If they spent a fraction of their energy working together rather than trying to tear each other down, they wouldn't be in this shitty situation
The US really is a crab-pile, and other societies see it as a warning (mostly... Turkyie, Hungary, Argentina and some others need a kick in the arse)
