Decadence is usually defined as “moral or cultural decline, characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury.”
The best way to determine is you are holding a luxury belief is to say it out loud to a working class person, someone outside the educated elite bubble. If they react with confusion or break into laughter, then you’ve got yourself a luxury belief.
Reminds me of a Pier Paolo Pasolini quote “When taken to excess, all things are good”
Interesting... I propose we can have a scale for luxury beliefs and decadence too. I'll dub it the Kardashian scale.
Hah! That's not a bad idea.
Hear, hear
