That is a very famous, widely discussed (and widely distorted quote) not some random comment. And your example reinforces my point. There is a sickness that spread from the Reagan era, but recognizing it is crucial to treating it. |

But the problem did not start in the Reagan era. It simply evolved. And it still does. Recognizing the problem is critical. I don’t believe you have. Not that I’m claiming any different of myself. I’m ok with that personally.
I keep scratching my head on the insistence of many that we should look backwards for the advice on how to go forwards. Look backwards to see mistakes, sure, but this seeming obsession with the words of powerful men, typically long dead ones, a quote from a CEO, a political book, a religious one, the medium doesn’t matter nor does the subject.
But there’s always a wise dead guy that needs consideration. If not more.
It is puzzling to me.
