Quote by Thomas Frank

We have become a society that can't self-correct, that can't address its obvious problems, that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that - for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati - we can't wake up from.

We have become a society that can't self-correct, that can't

The list of disasters and challenges our society faces continues to grow, indicating that we are failing to self-correct and pull ourselves out of a downward spiral. It emphasizes the need for introspection and action to break free from this cycle of folly.
