Artikeln hör till baronens allra bästa. I dess början läser man:
...it's important to discuss the world as it is, and not as we would like it to be.
Och därmed är den viktigaste grunden lagd. -- Slutet lyder:
Part of the modern liberal ideal is the foolish notion that we can simply abolish by fiat millions of years of evolution, thousands of years of culture, and centuries of tradition. Just like that! We wish it all away. We'll soon find out to our chagrin how mistaken we have been.
These absurd ideas will die with the liberal paradigm, and as a corrective, the successor civilization will reach back into our cultural history to find an alternative to the Enlightenment meme which is about to self-destruct.
The new paradigm and the new civilization will be built out of the fragments of what went before. So what we need to focus on is the construction of a modern version of the monastery at Lindisfarne, a networked sanctuary where what is good and valuable can be stored and kept for use in a future time after the chaos is over.
Grab an ink pot and a quill — we've got a lot of books to copy.
