A Lost World

In a bright book, The uncultivated cultureof 1987, Harold Bloom characterized students from the United States, anticipating in more than twenty years which would become reality in France and Europe.

«The cause of the decay of the traditional role of the family as a transmitter of tradition corresponds to the decay of humanities: no one believes today that old books contain, or could have contained, the truth. Thus the books became, at most, a repository of ‘The Culture’, that is, boring. Teachers say they cannot teach writing to students who do not read and that it is practically impossible to read them, the more they make them like reading ».

This is where the secondary schools have failed, and here, invaded by teachers who are already a product of the end of the century, themselves illiterate.

“As Tocqueville said in democracy tradition is nothing more than information. With the ‘explosion of information’, tradition became superfluous. With its gradual disappearance, the need for the explanation of the world was disappearing. The maximum aspiration of parents for their children has become only specialized competence and material success ».

Parents no longer have the legal or moral authority that they had. They lack confidence in themselves as educators. They stopped believing that children can be better than them, not only with regard to quality of life but also in moral and intellectual qualities.

Along with the constant novelty of everything and the constant travel, first the radio, then television, robbed and destroyed the privacy of the home, which had allowed the development of a higher and more independent life within society. Parents can no longer control the atmosphere of the home and have even lost the desire to do so. The television enters not only in the room, but also in the tastes of old and new, appealing to immediate pleasure and subverting whatever does not depend with him.

The digital, the Internet And the mobile phones, instruments of loneliness and inhumanity, a kind of slave prolongation of the body and soul of adults and children, absorb time and erase the spirit, leading them by a path that is increasingly presents itself as a path without return. It is this reality in which science and rationality dissolve and delete and obscurantism grows, which has been and is now instantly exported to French and European universities. Universities where the Wokism, the queercancellation, transsexuality. Deviations, made Taras, presented and promoted as normal. That are not oblivious to the current wave of cruelty and crime among young people. A route without return? The effects of Donald Trump will be seen.
