I like to call this the “Boomer Truth Regime,” after both the Boomer generation and the boom time after World War II. In short, the Boomer Truth Regime permanently fused the word “machine” with the word “gun,” as they were in the world wars. The Boomer Truth Regime decided that anything capable of doing huge things is, on its face, terrifying and must be vigorously opposed. For decades, doubting any piece of the Boomer Truth Regime package was the equivalent of a kid complaining about his bedtime. Every critique of the Boomer Truth Regime was essentially powerless.
