So many pretentious words strung together in this article and not a single one of them explaining exactly what the "need" is that he's referencing in the title "The West needs to grow up". It's one gigantic exercise in begging the question, that clearly the attitudes and values of the past were better and everything modern is "wrong".
This sort of stuff only seems profound if you already agree with the premise and are searching for validation of those beliefs. Otherwise it just sounds like your standard "Old Man Yells at Cloud Using Flowery Language".
- lazyeye 4y ago"This sort of stuff only seems profound if you already agree with the premise and are searching for validation of those beliefs..." This kind of statement applies equally to anything relating to woke ideology and pretty much anything else really too.
- Jordrok 4y agoI would disagree. The mark of truly profound writing is the ability to portray an idea in such a way that it forces the reader to question their pre-existing beliefs and potentially change their mind.
- lazyeye 4y agoAgreed. And that's going to depend on your pre-existing beliefs etc. I'm not sure how your comment changes anything.
