J. Budziszewski opines here on the esclating pandemic of lunacy infecting the surrounding culture. It’s worth reading in entirety.

“The craziness of the culture has become so obvious that, finally, everyone gets it. We don’t need to go into the details of tampon dispensers in boys’ bathrooms. And yet I don’t think most of us realize just how far the lunacy has gone . . . Consider the social media remark, “Math is actually not universal. Treating it as such upholds white supremacy.” It’s easy to laugh, but the author of the tweet is a math teacher, . . . We want lunatic premises without lunatic conclusions. We want the poison apple without the worm. I notice, for example, that moderates and conservatives who protest lunatic versions of “marriage” such as polyamory quite often believe that cohabitation without vows and with freedom to change partners is equivalent to marriage . . . We can meet lunacies not just with counterarguments, but with sounder, more beautiful visions of how things really are . . . Here is a hard one: we can repent. Those three words are enough to move some people to throw away this essay. I hope they won’t.”
