[MD] Quality decline in U.S. politics

[Khaled Alkotob]

Why the resurgence/emergence of fundamentalism.

Joseph Campbell sums it up best. ( Full text

the Hero's journey.

" The Universal triumph of the secular state has thrown all religious
organizations into such a definitely secondary, and finally ineffectual,
position that the religious pantomime is hardly more today than a
sanctimonious exercise for Sunday morning, whereas business ethics and
patriotism stand for the remainder of the week. Such a monkey-holiness is
not what the functioning world requires; rather, a transmutation of the
whole social order is necessary, so that through every detail and act of
secular life the vitalizing image of the universal god-man who is
actually immanent and effective in all of us may be somehow made known to
consciousness."

Good day
