Dalrymple sates, “it was only with the spread of tertiary education that there were enough apostles of aesthetic and cultural relativism to spread the rumor that there was no proper foundation to objective judgment. Metaphysical notions are not necessary to change society: rumors of such notions will do just as well, but even rumors need a critical mass of people to spread them. That is to say, when large numbers of people, who might once have accepted the aesthetic judgments of their educational superiors, became aware that those judgments rested upon shifting metaphysical sands and, unlike the Church, were not founded upon a rock. What had once been a puzzle to an elite became a weapon in the hand of a multitude chafing at the bit of civilized restraint: ergo Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer, and a decline in cultural standards with a rise in the general level of education. Bad art is far easier to produce than good, and if it is generally believed that there is no real distinction between the two, the will to produce the latter will be sapped.”

In the midst of our advanced technological success, NPR had at least two separate pieces yesterday that addressed raising your own chickens for food to survive the financial crisis.
