Yesterday I was listening to Al Kresta (2019 Countdown #4) and his interview of Mary Eberstadt the author of Primal Screams. Very riveting piece with interesting view on how our society became so polarized. She has some interesting observations related to the sexual revolution and the fall of the central family unit. My own studies in sociology pointed to the initiation of our current spiral to the horrors done by man to fellow man during the wars of '14 and '39. People wished to create a utopia where everyone was taken care of and we could all get along. This to avoid the horrors of what man is capable of committing when left unchecked.

Ms. Eberstadt is relating the fall of the family unit to a distopic feeling in society where we are approaching another collapse of civilization. This got me talking with the Wife yesterday and discussing our opinions.

This morning she sends me something which popped up for her about the basis for the Secret of N.I.H.M. I do not remember ever hearing about Dr. Calhoun however his studies as quickly laid out in the article are amazing. The end result of his efforts is frightening to me. In a quick, albeit sophomoric, perusal of his work I can see signs of our global societal woes.

Now to research more on his actions to avoid the complete failure of his universes and what actions were successful.


I do not know if this can remain a-political and out of the morass of the other off-topic thread but I do hope we can remain civil, analytical, and a-political. In other words, not be the mice in Universe 25.
