What an insane year 2020 has been. No need to rehash all the turmoil. Suffice to say this year will test the sanity of every rational person on this planet.
Humans are a funny lot; that is for sure. I look around, and I see people who think 180 degrees opposite of the way I see the world. It's like the old-time drive-in movie theatre were you drove in, and one went to one movie and another movie on the other screen. We seem to be watching life like we are viewing different realities.
The root word of culture is "cult." That is and has been the traditional glue that holds societies together. We are fragmented now more than ever before in our collective world views.
Judeo-Christian values held together western civilizations. But Darwin, Marx, and World War 1 hastened the demise of cultural religion. The fabric had been rent. Western society began a gradual but steep decline.
Will we be able to form a cohesive order without any value system that unites us, I doubt it. So the American Experience is on the rocks. What next, I wonder?
