It's kind of surprising to hear an NYU Professor seemingly sounding such an alarm...
The 'new morality' or lack thereof, being embraced now by many, will probably have them in shock when the plug is pulled on them down the road, by the very same "elite" that they so blindly do the bidding for today.
A 'useful idiot' is 'not' what I ever hope to become for the shadow masters...most will quite likely never realize they were simply 'used' and those that 'do' realize it, will be looking back in misery, I suspect.
Yes, it's surprising. The subjectivist post-modern relativism is the downward spiral into our own destruction :/
