We're going to have to return to decorum, manners, restraint and refinement

Because its over friends. Its gone way too far , way past reason and accessibility.

The painters pallet goes from black to white. The musicians range from low bass to high-notes.

we have exhausted them all in an glutinous manner to the point of a grey muddle.
Ugly, vulgar, embarrassing.

women feel it, men know it

This pretty much defines it in a nutshell. Every trait on the left side has been accelerated by design it seems, to the point of the list on the right side being all but forgotten.

Thanks Sue. That says it 100%!
I watched the movie Horizon an American Saga today by Kevin Costner. There are dear and beautiful moments in this film that had me in tears. the reason being real true and relatable, touching and human , not people flying thru the air dogging bullets, getting up from punches that would kill someone in reality and ignoring the easy layups, the inappropriate sex, and so on.

i made the art analogy because any artist struggling to create magic in from their paintbox knows its all about calibration and relativity. Piling on white paint does not create a white shirt or a field of snow.

we need to re calibrate of suffer great sadness.

The eternal trap is this. we are primal sexual beings. Our preset especially during youth is to have sex, to procreate. Today, they are playing a TV commercial having young beautiful women ask, what makes a man?

One gal says, a man always pays for dinner, ALWAYS. Yes ok that how I have always done and happily, but this is not what the woke age has stated. So there in lies the confusion.
And what does the man expect in return be it verbally or not, for the offering of his dinner?

as Melville said in Moby Dick, / partial quote /

“This whole act's immutably decreed. 'Twas rehearsed by thee and me a billion years before this ocean rolled."
