To retrieve cultural vigor and autonomy it will be necessary to reject certain bad ideas.
Bad ideas are many, and they dominate cultural discourse. Most revolve around failed visions of a Utopian nature that do not exist and cannot be willed into existence.
Speak against these and social, academic, and political forces unite with condemnation generally reserved for blasphemers and ex-communicants in ancient times. These demand silence, and will tolerate nothing less than absolute conformity.
But there is no "we". There is only freedom, and those opposed to it.
