Dissimulation.
Every age reaches for old stories to explain new realities. The irony is that most stories survive not because (or even if) they are true, but because they are easy to transmit, to remember, to tell.
Just my perspective.
Your mileage may vary.
Neurotic bureaucracies do not resist autocracy; they often rehearse for it.
Populists tell you they’re going to smash the system for your benefit. Funny how it still always seems to end with the rich getting richer, the government getting worse, and everyone else paying for the repairs.
Science has not stopped discovering reality. We have become less capable of surviving what those discoveries imply about ourselves.
