We have now reached the perverse moment in intellectual history in which tens of millions of people with average capacities for imaginative inferential reconstruction, and lacking a thorough grounding in theories of modern institutions, awaken each day, seize upon one new datum, perhaps reflected in a meme, merge it with an ember of ongoing frustration, and proceed to advance a complete and dynamic schematic for the whole of human existence in the realms of politics, economics, culture and prejudice.
To add icing to the cake, their one paragraph summary of what should be, but is not, a five-volume update of Das Kapital or Fountainhead, is advanced with a stern admonition that anyone who fails to fully and immediately embrace this tsunami of insight is immoral or stupid or both.
