Institutions survive long after their meaning has been lost. All of recorded history is nearly this identitical power struggle with abstractions applied as time goes on. We have been at this for nearly as long as society has existed. I have small hopes at this point, even our schools exist to prepare children for the factory line. We are so far down this backwards path it might kill us to turn around.
