You raise a huge issue--with no realistic solutions. In the last 30 years so much has changed (for the worst) that it would take another Aristotle to capture the essence of what has been lost never to reappear again. Old and young are hobbling along. The "online community" offers largely negative service: situations, thoughts, problems tend to be magnified to a degree that few minds can cope with. Throw in the ugly insecurities borne out of our "free economies" and "tolerant societies" and you get part of the picture only. I've known times when the worst looked manageable and the impossible only a short distance form an acceptable possible. The younger generation has no such luxuries. I'm glad I'm finished with college... Good luck.
