A
disease afflicting modern
post-modern people, in which after they have discovered
meaninglessness, they set about to
prove themselves worthy in some respect. Witness the
pseudo intellectual antics of
Bill Clinton with respect to his
historical legacy or the half-baked ramblings and ruminations of
Jon Katz about some new
insight or other.
Most people never achieve their goal because they are ignorant or uninformed. But I am just bitter.
