Thanks for the link. It's an interesting read. But the rather hyperbolic route the author takes in this article-ifesto raises the question of whether their criticism of self-righteousness is more like projection of their own weakness directly onto the WaPo.
The author also speaks of the resilience of "reality" while seemingly working to spin a new model of reality out of whole cloth. The latter is fine with me and aligns with their position of how the fifth wave is operating, but taking both of those positions in one article always seems to point out a kind of inner conflict.
It's too bad because my gut tells me that the fifth wave as described could easily reconcile these kinds of things and maybe even help the WaPo out along the way. And if the fifth wave is really logically what the author says it is, there should be no reason for bashing the WaPo...as opposed to say pitying it? There's a lot of emotion in the mix, and it distracts.
