Drawing your attention to an excellent article over at The Imaginative Conservative, "Daydreams, Nightmares, and Christian Realism."
The opening paragraph (with a few editions):
As we look at our present nihilistic culture, malnourished in the absence of [faith and reason] and living only on a meager diet of [bread and games] it
is hard to perceive any sign of true progress, unless we see progress
as synonymous with suicide. Whether the homicide, genocide, and
infanticide of secular fundamentalism can be seen as its own ultimate
suicide, there is no need for the rest of us to follow such
self-destructive notions of “progress”. On the contrary, as Chesterton
reminds us, “true progress consists in looking for a place where we can
stop”, which, in the dark ages in which we now live, means a place
where we can stop the rot.
Pearce explores the notion of Original Sin and the myth of human progress (properly understood).
Well worth your time.
