@franktaber@glyph The trouble, as I see it, is that two things were shattered: the illusion of our moral superiority (a good thing to have shattered) and the idea that we need to care for one another (the terrible thing I'm lamenting).
There's some combination of fatalism, nihilism, and narcissism which seems disturbing popular at the moment. If I have a guiding light, it's that things can change and we can learn from each other. I hope my work speaks clearly enough to that.
