This is an interesting concept. Every empire has eventually disappeared and we have to look at the common factors.

Thank you for articulating so clearly what I lived through in college, and which I believed for years. In the late 80s, our professors deluged us with the ideas of these three philosophers, and I was convinced that the students who seemed to comprehend it immediately must be eons smarter and more intellectually 'cool' than I could ever be. It took me years to shake off the brain-fog and come to realize that indeed objective truth, and good and evil DO exist. It's really astonishing how corrupt and pervasive deconstructionist beliefs have been. Grateful for you and others who are shining light on this dark era.

Thank you for this Suzanna.What you've described is one of the most insidious effects of the virus, to make confusion feel like intelligence. If you didn't immediately "get it," you would naturally assume the fault was yours. Unfortunately that social pressure kept an entire generation silent while the ideas took root..

The fact that it took years to shake off is proof of how deeply the infection was designed to embed itself. The good news is that you did shake it off!

Also grateful for your honesty in sharing this. And yes good and evil is more than real and a battle is on all the time...

Hmmmmm what they had in common... FRENCH thinkers.

Meanwhile the English built the world that the French criticize.

There is a role in being an empire. And there are the jealous ones who only want to tear that down because they have nothing useful to add.
