Our current societal (as opposed to cultural) development is burdened by the presence of "Good Ideas." These ideas are called Good not because their implementation has led to the betterment of life, but in homage to the supposed goodwill or intellectual status of their instigators. These 'Good Ideas' may be said to include feminism, birth control, "diversity," free love, and for the profusion of "counter-cultural" innovations spawned in the 1960s.*

This joyous extemporizing of a "new social vision" has brought about a lot of confusion and unrest: angry feminists, lonely aging males, full divorce courts, broken families, grieving children, and a growing disbelief not only in the possibility of domestic accord, but of the efficacy of the free market.

The "Good Idea" fails, for it is the product of a conciousness incapable of recognizing let alone assessing posible variables. When it fails, the concious mind balks at the necessity of spending further energy on that which was once free; which is to say, unconcious: the culture.**



 

* See also grand visions of Urban Planning, which destroyed the Black Neighborhood, Welfare, which destroyed the Black Family, and Affirmative Action, which is destroying Black Youth.

** Consider the congruent phenomenon of the response to the inevitable failure of Government Programs. These Good ideas--the Great Society, the war on Poverty, etc.--as above, upon inevitable failure, spawn increased governmental programs to "complete" their "work"--their failure being, inevitable again, ascribed to underfunding.
