Alana Newhouse writes at Tablet about awareness that flowed from a life-altering experience with a newborn child. Her epiphany is embodied in her title: “Everything Is Broken” and she does mean just about everything.
What follows is her condemnation of just about all the key modern elements of our current society - medicine, education, media, politics, religion, labor policy, the Internet, yadda, yadda. I wish I could tell you I think her aim is faulty, unfortunately I can do no such thing.
Hers is a profoundly depressing insight, and far too much of it rings true. Skip her column if you’re in a down mood.
