This is DEEP -and I mean it-
It clearly explains where we've gone and how we got there.
The reminder made by Warren Buffett recently on the subject of derivatives, applies here. "like Hell it's easy to get in, but very difficult to get out".
How do we solve a gargantuan near-unsolvable social and political problem? Slogans somehow are not enough, seems to me.

Re #1
Juvenile mentality also breeds liberalism we see these days. It is not just a nation which is juvenile but the whole industrialized nations. Sad but true.

Good catch.
Lots of this is the outsome of a society heavily populated by the personality types described by Christopher Lasch in "The Culture of Narcissism" in 1979.

You gentlemen should see this. Amazing it is in the Baltimore Sun.

It isn't "juvenile" but "adolescent". Children are dragged upwards into adolescence before they are ready for it and then they are trained to progress no further into adulthood. We've decided that it is "cool" to be "forever young" which means that people are no longer trained to accept mature behavior or responsibility. But they flip side is that we are also sexualizing children into adolescents at a younger age.

I've been saying this for decades. The worst part is we have leadership such as the Clintons who are perpetual teenages who have ascended into the social, political, religious, media, and economic structure. There is no core to lead us out. In my opinion, Bush is only a marginal improvement over the Clintons et al.

Add "feminization" to that, and this guy's nailed it.

He missed the ONE most important contribution to this: RELIGION BEING TAKEN OUT OF SOCIETY.
