But then there'll be no horseracing

Probably the saddest thing to have evolved is self absorption.
People no longer care if their neighbour is ill, most wouldn't know anything about their neighbour, only that they have a better car and better phone.
The evolution, has become an evolution of not only self absorption but sadly aggression. Then there's the clear disrespect for anything of heritage significance, unless it's 200 years old, down it comes for some ugly blight on the landscape, because some conehead, says it's the interpretation of man's inner self.

It's embarrasing driving overseas visitors from Melbourne Airport, they say the skyline looks like Singapore (docklands / south melbourne) and that gateway looks like a five year old designed it using cursive rods

They never learned a thing from the Yellow Peril did they?

Damo and Darren - Train Station

Several council workers now required to do the same job that used to take half the time by one person 20 years ago. Reason for this is because of legislation brought upon us by weak governments pandering to every marginal group in this country. It might make us safer, but the extra cost is found everywhere and as a result we have less money to spend on local produce for example because all our money, through sleight of hand, has been taken away from us in the form of insurances, safety compliance issues, and a myriad of other regulations that are imposed upon us for our own good.

Go and buy a pie and have a think where all the costs of that pie come from!

Fairwork Australia has a finger in it (not literally), Worksafe, consultants flogging their new compliance systems, government taxes, water rights for the cattle, chemical regulations for the land the cattle graze on, mostly INNEFFICIENT (read government) or GREEDY organisations are gouging out a decent whack from this pie ..... you could name at least 50 rip offs directly related to the humble pie we just bought. But how many of these have made life in general better, and how many of these just raise revenue for those that don't deserve it, as a result of some bureaucrat responding to the marginal #####'s!!

Agree with most of what you say, Chrome Prince. Regarding music - the older stuff seemed to me to come from the heart rather than produced according to a formula to make $. Nowadays it seems like a grab for cash. I am excited about the rapid progress of science these days though. I have Parkinson's and I'm amazed at what we know about the brain. Would prefer to be without it but find it all very interesting nevertheless.
