Our progressiveness, though it may result in a great many wish-fulfillments, piles up an equally giant Promethean debt which has to be paid off from time to time in the form of hideous catastrophes.*
This is a truth of our post-modern age, the legacy of Foucault and Rousseau. Our Promethean debt will be paid. The bill will come due.
The woke agenda, financial and fiscal nonsense and climate arrogance of our political and media intellectuals are working like bulldozer blades, pushing up higher and higher mounds of foolishness till one day, the enormous pile tips over backwards, engulfing us all.
