Barbarian at the gate

"As art declines, will civilization follow?" asks Ben Shapiro. O dear. Art in decline. Civilization to follow. How so, exactly?

"The rise of rampant subjectivism," explains Ben, which "dictates that rigorous rules be cast aside ... it shouldn’t be the standard."

Quite so. Only barbarians flout the rules and standards of our civilization. Which surely include punctuation in writing, such as Ben's comment that:

"The “literature” of James Joyce in Finnegan’s Wake is over 700 pages of nonsensical drivel."












Barbarian?
