Partial List of Wax On Wax Off


Partial list of things I believe to be waxing and waning in the popular sense of moral, civilized taste. To be clear morality is not determined by vote. And also notice this is not a list of things peak/not peak. This is more a prediction of long-term trending.

Waxing: 
  • Marijuana
  • Basketball (as a share of sports-fan attention)
  • Virtue signalling to strangers through condemnation (you shouldn't do this or believe that)
Waning: 
  • Factory farming/eating animals/hunting
  • Tobacco
  • Football
  • NCAA student-athlete amateurism
  • Fossil fuel energy (both superficial (electric cars are ~25% coal cars) and actual)
