Nonsense. You came here to respond to me, but instead provide just a content stub with an bottomless pointer. As a sales pitch, it is a failure. Stubs with pointers make no sense between equals in a public forum. They are rhetorical tricks. Either have a dialogue with me, or admit you are unwilling.

Another reason your second post here is silly is that I can make precisely the same point to you, that you show no evidence of understanding what I said in my first post about nature and stories. Should I just point you to Western philosophy and history, and tell you to educate yourself? It seems to me just as necessary for you, but I would be contemptibly lazy to rely on that wave of the hand.

Complaints about patriarchy (and plenty of other things still alien to the existing Western culture) have been nurtured almost solely in academic environment. These and other woke complaints have sprung fully-formed onto the wider adult public (who are primarily engaged in productive things other than getting "juiced in it"), yet woke "conclusions" rammed through by hook and by crook by woke "experts" untested in the wider marketplace of ideas.

This is clearly by malevolent design, just as it was, for example, in Mao's brilliant power creation of the Cultural Revolution to counter critics in the Communist Party using his young Red Guards. Rather than incorporate the society at large for this proposed development in wisdom, instead student armies sprung forth with their high energy and low wisdom. The Cultural Revolution was, as history shows, an unmitigated disaster.
