Beggar, (et al.,)

What you say is just right on the money--which is frequently the case here--but
you just put it with particular lucidity.

I'm gladdened to hear some kids (yours) at least are getting another side of the story.

BTW: Long time lurker, first time poster.

BAU will continue, but the lies told as cover for increased brutality will need to get bigger.

We humans have a need for patterns, meaning, and purpose. We want to be a part of a story that is bigger than we are. The meta-narratives of religion, ideology, and nationalism will meld into one overarching story.

The propaganda will increase to drown out the truth about the human predicament and especially about the need for horrific violence.

I suppose that something like a miracle could help us mitigate the consequences of peak oil, climate change, habitat destruction, and increasing human violence.

Meanwhile, I'll stick with Vonnegut's "purpose for life" -- we are here to help each other through whatever this is.
