"the dichotomy between atheism and religiosity doesn't always align neatly with a scientific versus non-scientific worldview. People and cultures can reject theistic explanations for a variety of reasons, not all of which are grounded in scientific reasoning."
"'The percentage of atheists that are not statists are so small you can just ignore it completely.' If this was a valid argument you'll have problem with anything. Close to 98% of book-readers are statists. Close to 98% of gym members believe that taxes is price we pay for living in the society. The percentage of libertarians who are not in it for the drugs more money are so small you can just use the term 'libertarian' and 'hippie' interchangeably.
"This is either a mistake or sophistic manipulation. Not good either way."

This is a funny post on Vox Day's site.
The boomers definitely lacked self awareness, and were pretty narcissistic. While the boomers are not totally to blame in my opinion (many of them had a decent work ethic), a ton of them just went along for the ride, don't understand it's changed & then backed into their prosperity.
Looking back, Gen X also have a lot to explain.
They were very decadent too.
