Not clicking through to the NYT, does he eventually get around to blaming Trump?

The book Future Shock was from about the year 1972. About the only problem I have to cope with in 2020 is which streaming TV service to bother with. Or I can just continue to use the TV antenna on my roof to get 71 channels for free. I am just so very conflicted. Do I move to Colorado and spend thousands of dollars to buy MJ at the stores or do I grow my own in my back yard? I seriously need The NY Times to tell me how confused I am in the year 1972 or the year 2525

A fatuous article written by a clown who has done nothing to advance our scientific knowledge or improve our lives. A monkey playing with a computer keyboard would create a more enlightening.

NOTHING reflects Western Decadence like the Democrat Party--and the New York Times--unless it's defecation on the sidewalks and in the super markets of San Francisco--which is the same thing!

The only thing wrong with today’s world is the lying media and BS internet conspiracy theories.

Fix that and everything would be fine.

The author has lost his way and is alone in an unfeeling world. Such is life without God

I found it to be a pretty good thought piece.

A very good take on the difference between real and perceived progress, and the confusion it leads to. He feels the status quo has won, for good or bad, and that the reality of the majority is much different from the extremists’ fantasies, no matter how much press they get.

It’s a good read, and can be found for free here:
