We're witnessing the acid of postmodernism, existentialism, and anti-foundationalism eat away and dissolve the assumptions of our religions and institutions, and we wonder why it's happening. I'll tell you why. Those religions, those institutions, are no longer relevant.

I'm no progressive optimist. I don't assume that this ideological evolution is somehow "better" than the last arbitrary set of assumptions. I merely state the fact that our institutions are presently at odds with our intuition, and we cannot rest until these differences are reconciled. To paraphrase Saul Williams, we must make our souls rhyme with our minds.
