I think the March of Capitalism has been (at least in part) to make the luxuries of yore become commodified middle-class must-haves.

150 years ago, only the lords could afford a wash-up man, a laundry man, a cook, a tailor, a night out at the theater. Now we have airfryers, instant pots, fast fashion, washing machines, dishwashers and Netflix.

What does that look like for a Humboldtian education?
