This article is riveting. I’d never appreciated that there was such a history of society, in so many ways, teaching and training each other to be members of a society. The article argues that this rapidly fell alert after WW II as people tried to reconcile what happened.

I found myself nodding along to the section on politics - “ If you are asking politics to be the reigning source of meaning in your life, you are asking more of politics than it can bear.”

And yet the question is never answered “why now?” What has made this point in time so particularly bad? Yes, there were large changes starting in the 1950s to what we read and were taught, but what changed in 2008 (or 2016? See, I can’t even get away from politics to explain the way we treat each other!) that has made things feel so much worse?

Are you familiar with the expression "It takes a village to raise a child."?
