Society can't advance if it doesn't know what to advance from, or how it got to the present point in the first place. Only by reading, comprehending and deconstructing the past -- the foundations of our culture -- can we hope to build upon and refine that culture.

Just because you're unwilling or unable to do that doesn't make the effort pointless or irrelevant.

And throwing in pointless veiled insults about anon's values doesn't help :)
