For the time being, culture appears bereft of focus upon clarity of thinking.
Reason, and what is typically called the evidence of the senses, is all but eliminated from the cultural discourse, which is dominated by emotion and feeling. One need not even question the agendas behind this development over the last decades. It is enough to know it as an element of control in various scenarios involving social engineering throughout corporate, political, academic, and cultural settings. Only the individual can choose to transcend these failures of objectivity and the intellect, but even so, it is a monumental challenge to overcome these ubiquitous forces.
