Where to start?!
I disliked the news failing in its job to give descriptions of perpetrators on the loose in my community. How long before they are no longer allowed to identify them as male or female persons of interest I do not know. The good news is the bad news in that now we have more camera footage of persons of interest, and of everyone else, come to that.
I disliked being forced by my professor to read the equivalent of a Harry Potter novel a week of bad social science research. It was illogical claptrap by people who couldn’t do math, but who wanted grant money anyway, so here we are with the Humanities ruined trying to cope with problems more suited for psychology, namely, untangling cultists from their cults.
TV is ruined but that might be just as well since its been a waste of time for a long time. Better to do more productive things, but I don’t know that people will, though I’ve seen a lot less new tv boxes on the curb lately.
Cancel culture has been gearing up for a long time. It used to be they would make something up about defaming prayer or desecrating the flag, but if you researched it you would find alleged gay rights violations or something. Some sort of critical mass may have been reached, but like Fareed Zakari gleefully mocking deplorables prematurely, a Trump sized wakeup call may be percolating through the consciousness of everyone that doesn’t want to live under the Woke Stasi.
Losing competitive advantage is a biggie for me, and thats exactly what all this navel gazing and goalposts on the move is getting us. We have become backwards.
“We have become backwards.”
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV):
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
