Quote - The point isn't that "amorality has always existed".  That's a given.  The point is its infusion into popular culture in such a way as to spread its toxicity throughout the culture's various layers.  To the point where people begin to insist that black is white and that white is black.......and that the only "true color" (assuming that one is allowed to use an objective term such as "true") is to be found in shades of gray.

That may very well be the point, and though I am nearly certain we would strongly disagree about what type of people are most frequently insisting black is white and white is black these days, what exactly do you mean by the term "popular culture?"

In the modern sense of that term, popular culture is a fairly recent phenomenon.

And are you suggesting that societies in which amorality is reserved for the elite are somehow superior? Or that such societies do not also, and just as often, collapse?
