What is happening here is we are living past the age, by the millions, living past the age where cultural values make any sense at all.
All information is everywhere. Information that is not here is nowhere.
People are concrescences of ambiguity.

The real nature of our predicament is completely opaque to us.
Culture is the greatest barrier to your enlightenment, your education, and your decency.
