Had this realization recently too. Was reading Spengler's Man and Technics and he pointed out how luxuries are simply culture in its most exacting and concrete form.

I then understood that the western ethos was this all-encompassing mindset that permeated from the highest value to the lowest one. And for a culture to succeed, it must develop a similar, all-encompassing mindset.

That's fascism, mate.

this is an old thought, its just about how "good" manifests itself differently in different mediums. in logic it manifests itself as truth, in aesthetics is manifests itself as beauty, in behavior it manifests itself as moral.

A luxury is a reflection of the culture that created it. To be considered a luxury, it must be more refined than regular cultural products, e.g. a luxury dish is more exacting to make than fast food.

Since products are a concrete representation of the culture that created it, luxuries are the most exacting concrete representation. Therefore, one might say it is the most precise concrete representation of a culture.

My favorite part is when the two officials in suits came out to break apart the gutter oil operation. The way they swing the pickaxe is so ineffectual.
