  • A long article but worth a read (I might buy the book its plugging as well!)

    I definitely agree with the findings, as it all ties in with the rise of more puritain lifestyles from the 1600s onwards and that sort of mentality still exists throughout middle Europe (not just the UK) even today. The flipside of course is that puritans and conservatives often do very well in business due to their disciplined lives..

    I think it fits in with the “type A vs type B” personalities thread as well..

    Tiz an Interesting article GL Thanks 😉

    Interesting article thankyou, let us know bout the book?

    Definately pressed some of my buttons, the isolation vs communal celebration aspect in particular.

    I always felt that partying was tribal. I started partying because of the music. I’d dance in the dark, hypnotised, every so often i’d open my eyes, look at someone else and see my feelings mirrored back, what a rush of feeling! (drugs or no). It gave me a certain sense of inclusion/community i’ve yet to experience elsewhere. :love: :love: :love:

    I’m aware that not everyone sees it like this but for this old skool raver (if that’s what i be) . . .
