People literally worship degeneracy and demand that it be included in all of our "entertainment" and culture, so I would tend to agree - 100%. Look at how low the bar has gone since, say, the 1950s.

As family units have been destroyed to make way for the "freedom" of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and "coolness." One of my sisters, a teacher, says the F word 3 times per sentence but that's "edgy." Nope, to me, it's just profane. I don't want to hear it. But that's OK now in regular society. Just as it is in Portland for a dad and his young son to be sitting eating ice cream cones near someone shooting up heroin. How "cool"!
It appears that when a society becomes too rich and unbalanced with too much spare time (which used to be spent on warding off winter starvation/disease) that it turns to debauchery. Nowadays we have technology to add to the firehose. Look out below.
BINGO! Spot on Yirgach. You get it. We as a society have had it far too good for far too long. Instead of worrying about our next meal or working to build our shelter, our people have ample mental "space" to think on other things. Thus, out of literal boredom, they proliferate perversion, filth, decadence and immorality. They glom onto "causes" such as the environment, animal rights, and of course sexual deviancy.
If we had to spend more time producing our meals and maintaining our shelter many of these things that our people obsess over would simply disappear.
The curse of a wealthy society is real and we haven't evolved to the point that we can overcome our own greed and desires for power.

Well said CP.
I know from many elders here in VT that life in VT was really brutal.
Very hard to imagine nowadays . Electricity was a God send and cheap energy a miracle.
Now they are doing everything they can to stop it.
Well said.
