"don't wrestle with a pig. You'll both get dirty but the pig will love it" Somehow the lowest kind of politics, on all sides, manage to drag us all down to their level. A culture war is just like any other war in the sense that on the battlefields nobody wins, and both sides lose. As a child growing up late last century, I always wondered how prosperous progressing culture's could have collectively devolved into the dark ages. I saw the seeds of the unraveling start in the 80's, but like any exponential process, it took some time to become a clear vector. I am not sure this is a preventable or correctable evolution at this point, as the devolution forces are enshrined within the system itself, leaving only room for a collapse at the meta level. I may be wrong. I truly hope I am.
