Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

We are experiencing a stress test of institutions. Kimmel and the FCC, Paramount and (maybe?) CNN, TikTok, Miran at the Fed, youth unemployment, Trump’s slipping approval - the list is endless. Can media resist capture? Can central banks stay independent? Can governments maintain trust? We are living inside overlapping crises of trust, violence, and attention, alongside weakening material conditions. It feels mythic - the human struggle with meaning and certainty is nothing new. We've been here before. And maybe that’s the best way to understand it - by rereading some old books. Link in next post
