“We live amid the ruins of borrowed certainty. Our political moment is dominated, not by builders of institutions or preservers of truth, but by performative ideologues who scorn the very frameworks they inherit. They cry liberation, yet they forget that liberty is costly, hard-won, and sustained by discipline and sacrifice. They demand justice, yet they ignore the deep and often invisible foundations without which justice has no coherent meaning. They speak fluently of systems, yet they deny the cultural and moral architecture that makes systems possible and stable.” (06/05/25)
