EFFICIENCY=DEATH

[kellychaos]

A sociology instructor I had once pointed out that, in the successful and efficient societies, people tended to have more time to reflect and turn more toward the humanities after the power struggle is over. Things like military might and a technological edge have been theirs for long that the effort to continue furthering them isn't put forth after a while. These socities eventually become less concerned with retaining their power and efficiency become apathetic.
