@dystopiangf I cant think of anything in modernity that fits that description I think due to our newly found aversion to beauty. So the more universal, the less beautiful and vice versa for the modern landscape.
@hoeflator This is what happens when social hierarchy flips, the merchant class has the wealth and power so their ideals/values become the social norm.. The "elite" as a concept was bastardized when said "elite" stopped holding themselves to higher moral/ethical standards.
