Walk the streets of any major metropolitan area and pay attention to what is communicated in the public sphere. Look especially at advertising, signage, and other messages that bombard you in public spaces. You can learn a good deal about the mindset of the people who run that society by observing such things.
More specifically, a culture that is insane, or in the process of going insane, will give it away in what it features in privileged public spaces. These are its most essential values.
On a recent visit to New York City, I did a little research in this vein.
Since it had been a while since I had been to New York, and still longer since I had thought about the public advertising in the city, I found much there of interest, and much that was jarring. But I had not remembered previously seeing anything quite so jarring.
In particular, while riding the subway, I stumbled upon a series of posters for the dating app Tinder that struck me as clear evidence of our growing cultural insanity.
If one wanted to get a crash course in the deterioration of the contemporary American urban collective consciousness, this visual sociology lesson would be a good place to start. The images reveal, in stark and unmistakable terms, how far the assault on our normative standards of good and evil has advanced in our cities. They depict a world in which reproductive heterosexuality is extinct, and all expressions of sexuality deviate from established baselines of biological and cultural patterns.

I’ve been doing this for years now, wondering what a visitor from 1955 would think seeing and hearing all we see and hear on any given day.
Pope Paul VI talked about this in Humanae Vitae in the 1960s
It was rejected and is still rejected

“The acceptance of artificial methods of birth control is then claimed to result in several negative consequences, among them a general lowering of moral standards resulting from sex without consequences, and the danger that men may reduce women to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of [their] own desires; finally, abuse of power by public authorities, and a false sense of autonomy.”
“Walk the streets of any major metropolitan area “

Why is this article limited to Tinder or any dating app for that matter? Most social media is soulless and amoral. Most of it allows the crazies to come out and rule the conversation and attack anything remotely Godly.
