I'm afraid of that. That's why I have never been a joyrider

From the feeling standpoint, the philosophy standpoint, it can zero down to smugness upon reading that the philosopher stands in a doorway during the storm, collar up.

For me there is more of an engineering urgency to the dance. The book Happy City mentions a sobering comparison. If everyone on earth lived like Americans it would take 9 earths to support us all. If everyone on earth lived like Parisians it would take 3 earths to support us all.

We only have one earth.
