I sorted the spreadsheet and I’ll be approximately the 42 millionth person to go mad

The Dark Ages were, by many accounts, only dark for the elites, and then only the elites who kept records of how nostalgic they were for a past where they had more power.
Seems like the same thing here, no?

Yep. And it’s common elsewhere It wasn’t the madness of French peasants that ended the Ancient Regime, nor did they prosecute the terror. Same for Rome, when a sclerotic and gerontocratic elite fell to a common obsession with stopping the march of time altogether.
