Wonderful essay. I applaud you. I am floored at your way with words and your deep spiritual as well as historical analysis. Hitting every nail on the head with the spiritual power of a sledgehammer and the historical accuracy of a surgeon. How do you do it good sir!?
Wow. I agree with every word of this thoughtful, archetypal analysis of the current state of the world. I have written about the exact same themes - down to the same painting of Saturn Devouring His Son - in a fictional story called 'Adrenochrome'. If anyone asks what that story means to me, I will simply direct them to this essay.
I would also like to point out that the boomers, as horrible as they can be generalized as being, are also just a product of the failures and wretched nature of at least their parents and more likely the consequences of their grandparents’ actions. It does not absolve them, but it should be kept in mind.

Thank you! Can you link to the story so I, and my readers, can check it out? I am very glad the theme resonated with you.
Check out this work on the doomer generation:

That’s Peter Paul Rubens’ Saturn, not Goya.

Caligula also was just the rotten fruit.
