Many of the world’s problems, I have concluded, were not given to me to solve. . . .
There is however a partial solution to the botheration of modernity. It is to give up on progress, now that it has revealed itself as unmistakably demonic.
To do anything worthwhile, or well, requires time, and space. The progressives demand that we make everything smaller and faster, and quite unfixable: warp-speed interplanetary rocket rides, and little wee implants to control us.
But the world is large, and moving fast enough. By ignoring the experts, we can be happy.
