Very interesting article. If you don't trust my link you can google the title of the piece or go to The Conversation and search for it.

That dynamic graphic near the beginning is fascinating. We are like individual water molecules formed by our beliefs and blindness into great sloshing political waves thrashing back and forth like water in a stock tank during an earthquake being viewed in slow motion. That pretty well describes my sense of how history transpires and what I have seen of the political chaos and moral decline in this country going back to the 60s, a time period that has seen the destruction of Main Street and community values by Walmart and now Amazon, and our walling off of ourselves into little worlds while we glue our noses to "smart" devices and give free rein to predators hiding in plain sight in our institutions-- the entertainment industry, the media, schools, churches, the military, political parties.

Vanity of vanities; the folly of Man.
