Yes, a self-absorbed and self-centered epidemic of stupidity and cowardice. Now how the hell do we get out of it?
Truth be told, I don't know. Speaking for myself, I see this as ultimately a spiritual matter. I put my trust in Christ Jesus and wait either for His return or to be called home.
In the meantime -- however long that may be -- I have little hope that things will get better. Maybe a bit better. For a time perhaps. But for man, wallowing in his vain philosophies, the long term prognosis is, shall we say, quite poor.
