I don't know. On the surface, it would very much appear that we are insane. But I wonder if a large part of this is that our logic has been outpaced by our rhetoric -- we haven't yet developed mental or spiritual antibodies to deal with Orwell's Big Lie. 'Guns don't kill people', for example, doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it, but apparently it's a devastating one-liner. If so: poets -- to the trenches!
Best,
Ed
