We live in a world that’s forgotten the existential art and science of agreeing to disagree. Cancel culture is at its peak.

It’s as if I am either allowed to agree with your viewpoint, or I am headed down the dreaded path of ostracism from your elite company.

A healthy debate or existence of opposing views is a thing of the past.

It doesn’t help that the world is in a state of affairs like it has probably never been before. It’s the perfect alchemy. There’s all kind of disasters going on all at the same time.

Climate change had been the #1 global doom story when a certain virus decided to stake its claim — and somehow they combined powers in that one was an extension of the other.

Then came an American president who managed to go from a crazy man running for election to the actual POTUS and even came mightily close to a second term. If that wasn’t enough, a Russian president decided it was time for him to take center stage.

He waged a war that reminded many of an infamous Jew-hating individual who had a moustache that was probably his only resemblance with a lovely comedian called Charlie Chaplin.
