I’m in my mid 40s. I grew up in the sixties basically oscillating between a state of reverie for the future (mainly fueled by the Apollo moon missions and nascent technologies — all the wonderful expectations for the future…) and horrified at the grubbiness and violence of the hippie/women’s lib “counter-culture movement”. As I age I see more and more signs that we had a “cultural revolution” which was perhaps not as outright murderously destructive as the Chinese one, but extremely destructive to our society nevertheless.
