Solomon said ~there is nothing new under the Sun~.
<p>
Nothing of the Wisdom and experience of one generation is passed genetically to the next.
<p>
This is why the study of History is so important.  It is why one generation must share its Wisdom and experience with the next.
<p>
Most importantly, it is why we need to select Educators wisely - particularly in the LiberalArts arena.
<p>
We have allowed Fools to Educate out children.  As a result, many of our children have become Fools themselves. (Please follow the link on Fools to understand that I am not just being harsh).
<p>
In their Foolishness , these Educators and their students have arrogantly seen themselves as inmovators.  They comsider older generations as narrow minded, prudish, unsophisticated, ignorant.
<p>
The NewAge , they claim, is better because people are more open-minded, more caring, better informed, wiser.
<p>
But what really characterizes the NewAge ?
<ol>
<li>Focus on food and drink
<li>Focus on Entertainment
<li>Focus on self
<li>Polytheism 
<li>Unhappy
<li>Fearful
<li>Weak
<li>Immoral
</ol>
<p>
The ancient Greeks had their Epicureans who focused on aelf-gratification.  They also had many gods to whom they attributed power.  
<p>
The Romans had their gods but became weak and immoral finally falling to the barbarians.
<p>
The Hebrews became like neighboring countries and fell into unhappiness and fear before being conquered and made slaves.
<p>
Other civilizations manifested similar characteristicals before falling.
<p>
 Change is not always good.  Many times it results in a full circle where the mistakes of the past are repeated.  Thia is where the NewAge is today.  The amenities are more sophisticated but the hearts of men are the same.
