Repetition: the Culture is Already Razed

They say academic infighting is so vicious precisely because the stakes are so small; the culture war is so hot precisely because there's nothing to fight over.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: there is ~no culture. There's no good wood, it's rot from stem to stern. Fantastically complicated mold designed to shore up the next putrescence so the boat doesn't immediately sink. Salvage it for fertilizer, not building materials.

If you want a culture that's isn't worth significantly less than a cow fart you have to build one from the ground up. (Or be Amish.) 

Don't give the zombie CPR. You get fungus ooze on your hands and then it tries to bite you. 

When you've already lost, it's time to surrender. Cap the zombie right in the brain stem. Start over. Rebuild.
Or rather, don't re-build, or it will only re-rot. Build afresh. Try something different.
