A parallel universe

So saith Dorothy Sayers:
"...for the popular mind has grown so confused that it is no longer able to receive any statement of fact except as an expression of personal feeling."
...in 1941!

How much more confused might the popular mind be these days?

I don't think you need look far to see that the popular mind as expressed through the media, arts, culture, politicians etc, is quite beside itself.

Quite beside the seashore in fact...sorry, just a meandering illustration of how my mind, like most others, is truly beside itself, mostly with frustration at what I perceive as a dangerous ignorance regarding the things of this world.

Almost like we are blinded in fact to the obvious...now where does it say something of that nature I wonder?
