Either he's an idiot (which I suspect) or...well, I can't think of an "or."
A former pastor of ours wrote a book called something like “The Facebook Generation” (10 years old now probably). He talked about how today's kids get SO MANY different world views that their maturity has been delayed.
Back in Jesus’ day, Mother Mary had grown up with ONE world view, and KNEW who she was and was considered an adult at her first menstruation.
Today, studies show that for men the average age that they are considered “adults” is something like 31 years old! (Women it is 28 or something.) I don't know how they determined that. But knowing grown men that play video games all evening while ignoring their wife and kids that may be an indication.
And part/much of it is getting so many different viewpoints, that it takes so much longer to figure out what ones own values are.
Yes. Lewis called it. A long time ago.
But he wasn’t a prophet and wouldn’t have claimed to be.
He was a prophet in that he could observe, learn, reason and think under The Holy Spirits’s wisdom.

Marxism is but one of many modern scientistic ideologies wherein Conditioners to reduce the human being to a soulless aspect of nature. Like the other systems, Marxism begins its process of social engineering (conditioning) by teaching humans that they are the product of evolution working on matter, thereby allowing them to be deconstructed and depersonalized. In this way the sense of their individual souls, intellect, free will, and conscience eventually fade to black since all four are shown by 'science' to be illusions.
Social engineering allows the New Man to imagine he is a bio-machine or hominid rather than the image bearer of the Triune Creator. This allows the New Man to sink into passive slavery to instincts and passions. In short, since the New Man has no real choice, whatever harm he does to others can never be his fault since ' science' has liberated the New Man from the burden of freedom. In this way, the New Man can fully enjoy his earthly rewards as a slave within a deterministic system of cause and effect unless truth and reality invade his collective darkness. Far from redeeming the New Man, social engineering has but brought back the Old Man of 2 Tim. 3:3.
Scientific engineering is based on the proposition that since man has evolved over millions of years from a sub-human past then logically he will evolve over time into something better or "post human."
Furthermore, it is the Elect, the already highly evolved and purified post-human race of god-men – the avatars of divine history leading the world to utopia (ie WEF) – who possess the godlike power to scientifically engineer the New Man who worships his 'creators.'
And so, Conditioners have already engineered a new conscience, which turns out to be the conscience of the old man
When Richard Nixon asked Russell Kirk what is the one book that he should read, Kirk said “The Abolition of Man”.
It really is relevant to what is happening today.
Thanks for posting!
Close yours eyes, and start walking. Reality is what hits you in the face when you get to a wall.
That other world, the one that exists behind your eyelids, that’s just pretend. Sometimes lots of people like to pretend together. That’s still pretend.
In my opinion, the best thing I’ve read by Lewis, ever.
In the 3rd sci fi book of the trilogy of C.S. Lewis
