Have you ever heard of Salons? This was a highbrow gathering of intellectuals and open discussion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_(gathering)

This concept is largely dead in modern society. This is how I know much of evolutionary psychology is a farce. I've seen human concepts devolve continually around me with my own eyes.

We could argue whether its nature/nurture, that's not the point... but we can basically agree that as a whole our society doesn't care about discussing ideas anymore.

If we as Americans... Humans don't get back to a place in society where we can discuss ideas without vitriole were lost.

The technocracy is pushing us towards either total control mechanisms or total war... There is a Spirit that is hellbent on propelling us towards this.

This is a philosophical discussion. I'd welcome anyone's input because honestly this is one of the few places left we can have a discussion like this.
