That's one way of looking at it. Another is that the last 50 years has shown who's been swimming without a bathing suit.
Those who are confused, conflicted and lost now really didn't have a clue in the first place. They understood what they did but not why. Went through the motions.
That's the nice thing about a culture. Most people don't have to understand why they do what the do. They just "go through the motions," and everything works out.
Of course, I guess if you don't understand why you are going through the motions, you won't be able to defend your reasons for doing so when your way of life is threatened.
