So what "we have to confront is a deep systemic and structural restructuring of our world." So what else is new? Since I date back to the Great Depression I have witnessed at least a dozen of these transformations, one worse than the other. So the literature I read is mostly at least one hundred years old and I prefer music more like two hundred years old and the most recent painter I appreciate is Rothko, who I studied under. Generations come and go and the world is still here, as the Preacher said. I am thankful for this blog and the intelligent ideas bandied about, and as long as individuals like you keep their intelligence and their integrity humanity survives. The secret is, don't let the b-stards get you down. This too shall pass.
