How a conspiracy-fueled group got a foothold in this hurricane-battered town

[sanatanadharma]

1. When people wonder how the "Dark Ages" began, look no further than this truth.

When people wonder how the "Dark Ages" began, they can consider the simple reality of the government pulling out, leaving bad warlord actors to grab domains. When the Roman Legions left, the teachers did not remain. When there are no teachers, there are no readers and libraries are forgotten. The darkness of ignorance spreads and even the leaders are dullards.

But books survived and readers too, and eventually the light of knowledge again began to fill the land.
When our world dies and the libraries are all digital, the future will not have any electrons to light a new renaissance.
