Kant’s chant; “dare to question” is the ‘call to arms’ of the enlightenment.

Things were so dire in 1750 that this was a fair call. Any complaint was more than 99% likely to be justified.

But things are so good now that the ingrained habit of dissing the status quo has become a psychological disturbance.

What is there to complain about apart from Woody Allen, Donald, sugar, apps that don’t work properly etc?

Dissonance, that’s what the children of the enlightenment have as their legacy.

The dissonance between the need to complain and the desire to complain.

Rightly so, the younger children of the revolution are turning their backs on Kant. Accepting of any old bullshit, they’re drifting through life only vaguely purturbed by facts and fiction.
