Does the universe fill itself with aristocracy, so that people can try to find cocaine addiction?

[Victoribus Spolia]

Yes, the aristocratic lifestyle, in regards both its virtues and vices exist as an example to the lower classes.

At one time, aristocrats were nobles, and the aspiration to their character was reflected in the nature of the masses.

Now, celebrities with dysfunctional home-lives are our examples, and we can likewise see their habits reflected to a lesser degree in the masses.

I prefer the nobles of yesteryear.
