Key to understanding is to work to understand rather than redefine these concepts in the light of the same modernity that gave us domineering technological prowess at all costs.
This seems to imply that we've gained all the wisdom there is to gain. Do you believe that's true?
Pretty universal story that one:
One domineering bully culture claiming to be the one true light in the world intent on snuffing out all others. Like reciprocal trauma on a wide scale. Mirrored in this ongoing revenge of the nerds scenario we have now. A poorly perceived high school experience, with limited historical or cultural context, driving massive political and cultural changes across the planet. Artie Ziff on meth and LSD.
