Just as she/he is over-exposed to downright debauchery, the child of today is equally exposed to an ethics too high-minded, abstract, and confusing for her/his developmental psychology to fathom and genuinely embody. At least this will be the tragic case for the vast majority of children growing up today: They will oscillate between trying to identify with these higher values and force themselves to feel and to think what is beyond their cognitive scope and emotional capacity, often pretending to feel, or posturing to seem good enough — and rebelling against these same values in a reactionary rage that will

Perhaps the question is not one of “class against class”, nor “class or nationality”, nor even “are class differences justified” — but, rather: How can class relations be optimized for human thriving? The question sounds heretical, even to their own writer. It sounds callous, even cruel, and yet strangely naïve at the same time. To the Modern mind, class was either the fundamental source of ills in society (socialism), a necessary evil (liberalism), or even a strange boon as differences of wealth and power seem necessary for the flowering of arts, palaces, cathedrals, and other aesthetic wonders of civilization (conservatism:

“It stands to reason — and viscerally feel — that Russia is an unlawful aggressor in this situation. But to seek to understand Russia (and, in the longer run, even to accept and forgive) is not to condone the actions of its government. For citizens around the world, both of these traps must be avoided: A. relativizing and condoning a criminal war of aggression, and B. falling into a clichéd, black-and-white narrative that hinders productive measures and responses because there is no real understanding. The better analysts, leaders, and the public understand the Russian side of the matter (not, note,

Another shortie but goodie: Most of us like boundaries but don’t like hierarchies. Same for me. But the uncomfortable truth is that boundaries and hierarchies presuppose one another. If you want boundaries, this implies hierarchies. If you challenge hierarchies, this loosens up boundaries. In the end then, this means that neither can boundaries be absolute, nor can hierarchies be abolished in all cases. The two are two sides that must perpetually be balanced against one another. The question, of course, is whether boundaries set are just, and thus whether the hierarchies they imply or negotiate are defensible. If I set
