The thing I notice when I’m in Europe is that taste exists distinct from wealth.  

In America, all arguments can be settled by who is wealthier and who gets more views. You cannot argue with Elon, because who are you? Poor by comparison, and therefore wrong. 

In Europe one’s own sensory experience and appeals to the terroir and its tradition outrank money and celebrity. Heritage trumps new money.

That is very true — so much so that “nouveau riche” is a quasi insult and peacocking through overt displays of wealth is considered gross and low-class

I hope it stays that way
