Your terrifying lack of imagination, Mark Morford

I have perhaps identified the single most lethal problem facing modern culture.

It has landed upon me once again with an inglorious thump, despite how I’ve seen it many times previously and merely shrugged it off, ignored its extreme prevalence or merely denied that it was really all that toxic or detrimental to the current state of the world.

I was, I now chillingly confess, dead wrong.

The single most poisonous issue facing the modern world? A frightened, reactive, painful form of literalism, a shocking lack of nimble thinking that keeps us down and leaves us confused and twitching like rabid, encephalitic monkeys on the floor. You know, so to speak.
