Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity?

Based on a historical perspective  a large proportion of modern day citizens in developed countries are amongst the most privileged that have ever lived on this earth. Many who live with privilege over a lifetime lose perspective of their advantage. I'd more than suggest vast majority of audiophiles extremely privileged humans, have virtually nothing to complain about.  

As for conflict, while inevitable with self interested humans competing for limited resources, certainly seems to be on the uptick and more celebrated today. Perhaps this due to the privileged feeling their privilege in peril.

It could have been better, but it also could have been a whole lot worse.  I am grateful.

I could not agree with this assessment more.

Yes, we are unbelievably privileged. Even people living in the lower working class have a lifestyle that would be the envy of half the population on earth. I have spent lots of time in China where most folks working in many factories are skin and bones, calorie limited by their income. They were lucky enough to have jobs and not technically starving.  

Yes we are. It is one thing to acknowledge and another entirely to talk about it as if out of guilt and then to tie to gender and race.
