This is the heart of the matter: our relationship with Reality. In retrospect, it is no real surprise that we have reached a point where denial of basic reality is so common at all levels of society. We have just lived through 70 years of - at least in the West - materialistic luxury and plenitude unparalleled in human history. Cocooned and protected from reality, what other mental outlook could we have but one of magical thinking? We can think crazy things because there are no consequences for thinking crazy things. That is going to change very quickly. And we can all play our part by doing as TL says: just say No!

I eagerly await the day when the neo-Jacobin "elites" get theirs . . . a similar, yet updated, 21st century version of the end of Maximilien Robespierre's reign of terror !!!
