Reflections From a Murky Pond

Sadly, that is an apt contrast between men of 1775 and the bois and gurls of 2025. Those of the modern generation are lesser children of a fallen house. Worse, we did this to ourselves, to them, and to our once great nation.

The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.

— John Adams
Letters of John Adams Addressed to his Wife

John Adams was in many ways a great man. But he was right in what he hoped and thought would happen, but so very wrong in hoping for it. He, over the course of 250 years, got what he wished for. And now, we have to live with that degenerate nightmare.

Women have changed a lot over the years, especially between the 1970s and the 2000s. Some of it has been actual progress, though not much of it. But, in these times, the changes have gone strange and destructive. Actually even more destructive than most realize, since the current trend is essentially saying that any failure as man can choose to declare themselves to be a woman instead as a lesser, fallback position.

This is the problem with the degenerate society that the #woke liberals and progressives are violently propagating. Crass comedy of the past is now a statistically significant predictor of the current and near-future reality. 🙄

Yes, every single right-thinking, sane American finds it incredibly hard to believe that, as a country, we seem to have degenerated to the point where a parent is allowed to chemically castrate their child – at a minimum – but spanking – or applying almost any form of discipline – is considered abuse.

Societies are a lot like species. Progress aka Evolution more often than not results in something weaker and more easily domesticated deriving from a stronger, more independent past when evolution was allowed to progress without the controls and guidance of Intelligent Design. 😉

What has been happening in the West vs. what has not been happening in the East are the perfect example and control group for this.
