there is a fundamental struggle going on in america which i think could have been resolved about five hundred years ago; that is the struggle for cultural dominance between religion and the scientific method. this debate has been resolved most successfully in europe and parts of the east, and it leaves america deeply late to the party.
this is dangerous; when the world's only military superpower is embedded in a fractured and still unevolved ethos it will be tempting for them to continue to enforce domination in world affairs by increasingly bellicose military means.
this is an existential threat to them and the world entire. if americans cannot step up to the reality bar quickly, President Loser, the new demagogue of hate installed in the whitehouse, will have to be stopped by people outside its borders, and that is a threat to the planet of epic proportions.
