I have been trying to tell people this for two years. The inability to recognize what he is writing about here is precisely the heart the intense friction in our society today. We can take it even further (though the author, wisely, does not): this same sensation of "safety" is also at the heart of the various social justice movements, unrealistic "safety" for the marginalized communities. Kudos to this author - Steve Templeton - for finding and describing so well the absolute center of our current moment.

I strongly recommend this article to anyone and have saved it to my personal archive.
