This is a very interesting article by our own @plebpoet. We were talking about problems with American culture in my post [Rant: Young People are Getting Terrible Advice and it's Destroying Our Culture](https://stacker.news/items/496016/r/Undisciplined).
One of the key points made in the piece is that one thing a culture does is prune our choice set. Having fewer decisions to make (more default options) makes life easier to navigate.
Isn't that stifling and oppressive though? It sure can be. However, @plebpoet articulates how the abundance of choices has sapped those choices of their meaning.
Another great point made in the piece is that you can gauge the strength of a culture by the flourishing of its members. @plebpoet makes the case that, by that metric, our culture has become extremely weak.
All of this leads me to a big picture question that I hope has a certain answer:
Can a liberal culture persist over time or does that degree of openness inevitably degenerate into the structureless void young people find themselves in now?
