’Our society is increasingly play-oriented.’

Well, this isn’t an especially new phenomenon, in fact some even argue it is a defining characteristic of the species. See - eg - Johan Huizinga’s classic Homo Ludens.

Surely, one of Germany’s top two daily newspapers can do better?

The FAZ? Do better, or let’s say be remotely rational when it comes to “twas all better in the olden days”? No way, no chance.

TABITOD is a political programme. It has been for all of recorded history. And it was never rational. Of course looking for rationality in the FAZ (at least the political and economic parts) is just a very thankless and tedious task nobody in his right mind takes on.

If you want to read well-argued and coherent conservative thought, the ZEIT and the NZZ are probably your only recourse.
