The core problem

With regard to my last post, I will comment that the core contradiction at the heart of our society and culture (to the extent it is represented by our institutions of “higher” learning) is that those trying to run it seek an aristocracy of spirit, without believing either in aristocracy, or spirit.


That their intellectual output looks like a 200 flies in a shoebox should surprise no one.


But the hunger for power remains. This is our problem, those of us who retain some shred or shreds of sanity.  It is the problem of all people of good will, who value freedom, human dignity, human rights, and genuine morality.
