Dream of what the western world used to be

Another good post by Victor Davis Hanson on his dream that the western world of old still lived on today.

And then I woke up, remembering that the West of old lives only in dreams. Yes, the new religion of the post-Westerner is neither the Enlightenment nor Christianity, but the gospel of the Path of Least Resistance — one that must lead inevitably to gratification rather than sacrifice.
