How did we get here? Can this mess be fixed?
By Mark Landsbaum
We have entered a dark age. Truth, not always abundantly obvious, has been increasingly shrouded thanks to the growing cynicism and polarization of our day. The condition is getting worse by the day.
What to believe? Whom to believe?
An easier question used to be, "Does truth matter?" Incredibly, our woke age today can't even answer that question truthfully. Today's preference for relativism allows that one man's truth may not be another man's. That premise assumes that reality isn't really real, but instead is shaped by interpretations filtered through personal passions and biases.
This results in such absurdities as "If you are white, you are racist," irrespective of evidence for or against the proposition.
Reflex has replaced reason in that way, but it's not the sole domain of the left. Ironically, many on the right reflexively think it's strictly a failing of the left without noticing their own irony.
