  1. I remember I said the day Reagan got elected that a whole generation will grow up deprived. I was born at the tail end of the baby boomers and I disagree with the comment they grew up with a strong work ethic. To the contrary, I saw them as totally spoiled and insecure, they had conflicts with their parents, and were stupid. Not all. But most and when Jerry Garcia and Jerry Rubin bought into capitalism. I closed the book on boomers betraying the hope of a rational and humane society. Now a baby boomer runs the White House and he typifies the boomers I am referring to, very typical, they acquired the financial help of their parents. True my parents taught me to never borrow money. But that was because the banks robbed depositors of their money in the depression. Technology became a weapon to pacify the millennials along with commercial pop culture. The hope of a rational and humane society now rests on this generation. Will they carry that hope?

  2. Whenever societies are on the decline people go off the deep end. People are becoming a social power on their own without leadership to channel that social power constructively. They are relying on their own intellectual power to figure out what side is the right side to be on as the sides split apart. Plus the modern state has made laws to rectify contradictions in society that only punish the actors and does not get to the root of the problem. This causes mass frustration and distrust of institutions in people feeling powerless and angry. Each individual is hyper-insecure that the necessaries of life are becoming more and more inaccessible blaming the individual for not securing their own well-being. People have become de-sensitized and de-skilled and, therefore, lost the values of community, solidarity, but are atomized individuals in competition with each other.
