There is unfortunately a huge amount of harm we can do to the capacity of the Earth to support human life, even if we can’t actually boil off the oceans like Venus.

    Epstein class as in new money people? For some reason I always thought the old money people at least attempted to appreciate art, food, and other fine things in life. New money, on the other hand, is obsessed with proving itself.

      Epstein class as in ‘can do anything without consequences’.

      Food used to be the more exotic the better as a status symbol (look, I’m the Queen of England and I got a mango, I have 2 servants cooking dinner for the two of us, etc). but that’s long gone.

      Also, this is purely anecdotal, and based on my own experiences.
