I have had opportunity lately to find more and more that modern spciety has no need to try and actually be reasonable anymore. People rail against each other for benign circumstances, everyone tries to be 'the same' (to span an enormous gulf) or to rage against historical facts with modern knowledge. We've been destroying our idols for years (who to look up to now?), so now a large degree of malice has been pointed squarely at those heroes littered through history - and are not available to defend themselves. Do so many people live such a sadsack existence that all people of greatness must be torn down to create 'equality'? What happened to those who strived to be better to match their idols? Now many wallow in their venomous contempt and assault others with fiction and double think. Sad.
