Materialism Creep

As time moves on we as a people collectively gravitate towards higher levels of self-gratification and instant reward. This "Materialism Creep" will typically last 80 years, giving us enough time to stack enough "biggie sized excess" in our culture to the point where it can't sustain itself and it crushes the collective mindset in a domino cascade. ( See; 1849 gold rush, 1929 stock crash and 2009 monetary implosion)

Gratification is chosen over morals in all facets from politics, finance, media, relationships, commerce and so on. You know you're getting close to the crest when you witness blatant fraud and depict consecutively in multiple facets of life.
