“People have access to unlimited information on the internet. They are still idiots when it comes to politics, history, economics, science, and music”
By the way, this sounds suspiciously to me like the sort of arguments people have made against the printing press. If that invention never raised the heights of human achievement, certainly it raised the general level. That’s all it was ever supposed to do.
I don’t trust that cultural preservation is in better hands now than it was with men like Thomas Aquinas. Then again, specialty store operators and frequenters were no monks. We’re talking about freakin’ stores here, not monasteries, libraries, and museums.
Museums and libraries are liberal sh*tholes. Their litmus test sucks.
