Tech and Progressivism Threaten High Culture

Invoking T. S. Eliot, the article argues that the combination of progressive policy, mass education and technological/market forces erodes the family, Christian cultural transmission and elite authority that historically sustained high culture. That degradation, it warns, produces lower educational standards and a cultural vacuum into which disruptive, 'mechanised' forms of life move in. — If adopted as a frame, this argument reframes debates about education, religion and technology as an existential struggle over cultural transmission and civic cohesion rather than only policy tradeoffs.
