As the Black Swans of the Long Descent continue to shit on us without warning, I think a whole lot of the Pampered Twenty Percent of the world's humans are going to have to reawaken the hardy fatalism which has been our default attitude for dealing with life's shocks and disasters, since time out of mind. Clearly a lot of Brits aren't through that salutary re-orientation yet. We will get there, though, I've little doubt, as the age of too much spine-dissolving prosperity and ease - for some - recedes into history. We shal re-stiffen our backbones, because we must.
