I do wonder what a historian will say about our time, when said historian would write in say 400 years (assuming there still are historians writing in 400 years.)

Looking at the headlines constantly streaming through the news aggregators, I get the sense that there is a huge market for denial, escapism, and all around self deception.

Part of this could be my intractable curmudgeon condition exerting control over my psyche, but I leave room for the idea that I am accurately observing my society.
