@Judeet88@PaulNickson@soc_i_ety In the context of Einstein-Freud Theory of War, “growth of culture” means progress towards equal rights for all.

it masks and denatures a profound reality;
it masks the absence of a profound reality;
it has no relation to any reality whatsoever;
it is its own pure simulacrum.”
“The Republican plan to sneakily cut Medicaid, explained: Medicaid work requirements are really just spending cuts in disguise.
