Building, creating means to help others, is an uphill battle, and is too often a response to the above. Think "Move fast and break peoples' lives". We haven't even begun to undo the demolition of society and even the "western culture" that tech gurus crave, after they demolished it. We want Plato and got Pluto. [0]
Destruction and rapacity come quickly. Construction and repair of values and lives (when possible) are an eternal struggle. "Warrior ethos" does not make lives better. It just makes wars. And history shows how long it takes for them to end, and the irreparable damage they bring.

> In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Pluto ... also known as Dis Pater or Orcus, was the god of the dead and the king of the underworld.
I'd like to engage more directly with the body of this piece, but since it's paid, I have to extrapolate from the headline. Sorry.

"Conservatism is a system-justifying ideology that seeks to rationalize the existing political, economic, and social order"
I'd bet most conservatives would describe themselves a bit differently?
