The New Mythicists




We deplore myths because they're not scientific, not logical, not atomic enough
We neglect the ultimate source of truth and embrace novelty and exploration with enthusiasm
We encourage youth to be more open, more honest, more vulnerable, more creative
We think that if there is an opinion to be had, there is an entitlement to express it
We unwittingly welcome more manipulation
There is no more slowness of speech
No more haste to listen only
Just wrath, just wrath, just wrath
Like and share the exhibitionism
Click the agree button and subscribe to future programming
We think and act and play God impulsively
We can see that air bubbles in ice crystals hold the key to understanding our past 100,000 years ago
We hear that search engine behemoths, space traveling virtuosos, and Antarctic treaties hold the key to understanding our future 100,000 years from now
We are told that Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel, as well as Joel, Jude, and John all hold the key to understanding our present wars and rumors of wars
We imbibe and indulge anew, day after day, that which we deplore because of the sugary facts we are fed
