Not possible. Modern culture is now insane and terminally ill.

It's hard to believe the things we used to be able to do that were just part of common sense and now seem like an alt universe away! It feels like there is a global prison structure being setup and 9/11 had us to minimum security from 'open' and now we are in medium security with Covid. Some parts of the world went straight to Maximum with Australia on the edge of Super Max.

Think of it as cultural senility. Time to leave modern culture.

Lately I've been wondering if we are living either in purgatory or in hell itself. Either way, the only minimal hope is to fight hard - no matter where we are - to gain the platform of being a decent soul. At least it makes it possible to look in the mirror in peace, even if looking out at the world still terrifies.
