We are using our genius to degrade ourselves into nothing much at all, and the existential results are anxiety and shame at how small we have become. 
If the witch crazes of recovered memory and multiple personalities are making a comeback, perhaps now aided by social contagion online, we would do well to gird ourselves with a sound understanding of psychiatry’s vulnerability to misdirection—and of the harm it can do to the souls under its care.
Dorothy Day’s radical call to love rings louder for us today than Zohran’s Servile State solution ever will. 
Conservatism, if it deserves the name, cannot be merely a marketplace of grievances or a contest of personalities. It must be a training ground for judgment ordered to the good of persons, families, communities, and the political order.
