It has finally come to the point that any sane person could have easily predicted. But sanity of course has been long eclipsed in the very place where it was once -long, long centuries ago- defined and cultivated to unprecedented and unsurpassed depths and heights. The denizens of this place prefer to dwell in their cherished cloud-cuckoo-lands that bear no relation to reality -least of all their own.

They are not to blame. Ruthless and worthless elites of all stripes lulled them to stupefaction, draining all spirit and all moral fiber out of them. Language was debased, education trashed and cultivation rendered the butt of perverse jokes. More often than not those displaying their own superior lights have been the deadliest enemies of the humble and sincere quest for truth.

They are not to blame -except that they themselves gave those elites the warrant to demolish and cheered them on as they torched the ruins of the temple.
