What cultures value impermanence? The only one that comes to my mind is the US -- and we're unsustainable, burning through resources on an unprecedented scale. Take the time to do things properly, and they endure: Caxtons are the gold standard of book collecting in England today, and Albrecht Duerer's house still stands in Nuremberg. (You also spend less money by building, or generally making, to last. Western and Central Europe have a lower GDP than the US but a comparable standard of living...) |
