Can We Call This Progress?

Thanks for the welcome. The following is a quote from one of my favorite authors.


“The great characteristic of our time is that we know everything important about human nature that there is to know. Yet never has there been an age in which so little knowledge is securely possessed, so little a part of common understanding. The reason is precisely the advance of specialization, the impossibility of making safe general statements, which has led to a general imbecility.” Ernest Becker, Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction “Denial of Death”

It is my opinion that Americans lack the intellectual sophistication required to comprehend the problems we face let alone to solve them.
